Rodchenko influenced the art of photographyprobably as much as French philosopher René Descartes changed science by changing the way humans think about the world. In 1925, Alexander bought himself a light-weight handheld 35mm camera and began to experiment with angles and perspectives. He used photography to expand the parameters of how and what he...
Ignatovich started his career as a journalist before he became one of the most trailblazing photographers of his time. Boris received his first Kodak camera as a gift and captured his first shot, quite by chance, in 1923. Ignatovich was walking on the street when he ran into famous satirist Mikhail Zoshchenko, who was buying apples from a street ve...
Nappelbaum is widely known for his iconic portraits of Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin. But first and foremost, Moisei made a significant contribution to the development of the portrait photography genre. Back then, posed and formal studio portraits were mostly executed. As a rule, such images lacked personal warmth and chemistry. Nappelbaum decid...
Khaldei was 13 when he made his first camera out of a cardboard box, creating a lens from a pair of old glasses. Later, as a staff photographer at the state-run TASS news agency, he spent some 1,418 days covering the devastating WWII in pictures. His iconic images were shot on a Leica.

He graduated from the polytechnic college and served in the navy before becoming a distinguished photojournalist. One of the leading technically excellent photographers of his generation, Abaza executed pictures with great attention to detail. He...
You might have seen his images, whether you knew it or not. Umnov was acclaimed for his celebrity portraiture for most of the Soviet magazines, but is best known for images capturing classic ballet artists behind the scenes. Evgeny worked in an era when the Soviet socialist realism style dominated all forms of art, including photography. His photog...
Pesov spent four decades documenting political issues. He was a master portrait photographer to the Soviet leaders and political figures from the mid-1960s. The photojournalist covered both historical meetings and the day-to-day life of Nikita Khrushchev, Leonid Brezhnev, Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin, as well as foreign ministers and state l...
Revered in photographic circles, Lagranzh had a considerable impact on modern photojournalism. The promising artist was 24 when he won his first trophy at an international photo contest in Budapest. Since then, the photographer made a lot of waves working for Soviet and foreign magazines, including Paris Match. A journalist by trade, his black-and-...
