Other Areas РУССКИЙ КЛУБ

Actually there's no single opinion on what Russian school of photography is. There's a host of good photographers shooting different genres in varoious styles; B&W and color, manipulated or not, digital or film. Often you can relate them by subjects or style (esp. those living in the compact areas of Moscow and St. Petersburg), but load them in a bus, drop in a middle of Paris for a week, and it wouldn't be trivial to infer single school from their work.

Also, calling all of the Soviet photography a degradation is a blanket statement. There was fairly good war journalism school, and of course creative people appear at all times regardless the regime. Street shoot of Semin for instance is outstanding, and he started in 1970s. And of course many contemporary Russian photographers were Soviet photographers 15 years ago :)

ALMIGHTY GOD, Hector !!!! How did you come to THIS conclusion ????????????????
Careful analysis ? What's a sloppy one for you then ?? :rolleyes:
First he is talking about the "russian school of photograpy" and at the end he admits there is no clear definition or "single opinion" about what that is at all !!
Does THAT sound like me ?
And BTW what could I have to do with a russian forum here ?
:confused: :confused: :confused:

Shocked !
 
Sorry Bertram,....... I thought, this guy can't be for real,....... who's clever enough to 'pull our legs' and impersonate (for fun) a Russian, interested in art, photography, culture, and international critique.

So take it as a compliment that you have the artistic skills to be convincing at this level.

I accept that it wasn't you having fun with us if you say so, but I sort of wish it had been !, and I bet you could do it if you wanted to ! :D :D :D

Actually, that last post was mine, not of the original poster.

Hmm, I thought about that already, I confess.
But then I'd introduce myself as a girl and would rattle your cages, guys, until your bloodpressure would reach the ceiling !! :D

P.S: The photo is a crop from the week 38 photo of the unsurpassable wonderful 2002 Paris PAW project of my friend Sreve Unsworth. I hope he will forgive me this abuse.

Kind of rude to enter international community forum with message unreadable for the majority. Kind of silly to slash and dismiss generations of Soviet photograpers, still demanding that "russian" fotogs willl outperform all others. "Pictures talk, bullshit walks".
