Part of my photography books collection (filmed for educational purpose). The 41-year-old Russian photographer, laureate of the prestigious awards Silver Camera, PhotoPhilanthropy Activists and Getty Images-Instagram awards, is well-known for the raw and real aspect of his photographs, made with a simple iPhone and his sharp eye. For Draft, he had documented the unfiltered life in the former USSR. No staging in his photos, no models to pose: only scenes of everyday life that Dmitry had captured on the fly, almost stealthily for some. This album is once again a collection, a choice to edit photos that are already available online. Dmitry Markov explains it this way: “First of all, the events of this year suggest the disturbing idea that “open access“ is a fragile phenomenon and depends on a political agenda. Of course, the likelihood of Instagram being blocked is low, but such a scenario cannot be completely ruled out. With this in mind, I would like to preserve a photographic archive of the past few years in a reliable, analogue format. Secondly, I would like these photos to stay with those who see them as a part of their lives. Because it is a part of our history. It's our childhood in the suburbs, our neighbours on the benches, in the doorways, the familiar streets of our cities, and, of course, ourselves. I am flattered to be recognised abroad as a photographer, but, hand on heart, my dearest and most beloved viewers are those who recognise something indigenous in these photographs. Those who, like me, feel a connection, remember the past, or divine the present. These are my most important viewers. And the album is for them.“ Hardcover: 206 pages Publisher: Treemedia (2021) Language: Russian ISBN-13: 978-9526946764 Product Dimensions: 24.5 x 24.5 cm Before you take off, please take a couple seconds to hit subscribe and turn on notifications, it helps more than you think :) More visual work: Portfolio: Contact: tomafotograaf@
