Everyone has their own history of the first relationship. I photographed young couples in love. In parks, apartments and places where they spend time. I am attracted to what is characteristic of youth: awkwardness, emotional instability, naivety, dreaminess and euphoria from what is happening. Some of the couples have long known each other - they are together for several months or have already managed to part. Finding support in each other, young people experience growing up together. All of them think that first love it is forever.
