Igor Mukhin "Resistance 1989-2009" Gallery XL Winery
 

Igor Mukhin - the legendary "life" photographer. Many at the mention of the name recall in the first place of worship pictures of young rock stars (Choi, BG, Mamonova etc. http://moukhin.ru/PORTRETS/). But in general his element - the street. Passions, emotions, conflicts - where there is a fair splash of primitive energy.

"Resistance" - the story of 20 years Russia's street politics. Fair, not on the Internet. And with blood, screaming, with loud speakers. That policy, which long wallow in the mud, and then suddenly the story unfolds.

In order to show the scale of the events gallery mixed mode display. In addition to the exhibition of selected frames with mat and frame, the walls hang four hundred "kontrolek" - small format prints. And in them that, often, the entire Tzimes. So quick view will not work. Tune. Moreover, on television and in newspapers such a long time do not see.

Here, in my opinion, the best. Since nerve era.

Black and white photo - always stylish. Photos successful due to the difficult situation during the shooting (rallies, passion). Interest in the color version much worse it would be?

This is a simple question. At the exhibition there were several kontrolek in color version. And it was worse. I also drew attention. Maybe psychologically? The eye was already set to black and white, and then color. I do not know. But there is. Here, if photographed a carnival, in black and white would be a failure. A rally - it is already brown-black-gray-red. Color him not to face.

No do not agree. I saw a photo of carnivals is in b & w And it was good. On the other hand is away from "beautiful" to "sense". Beauty and erotic at the same time not suffer.

Once in Turkey, we photographed a local photographer. Family photo on the beach, and I asked him not to do glamor like everyone else. At the end of shooting, he said that he would do a few more frames in b & w I doubted whether, beach, sun, blue sea, yellow sand. But no it is these photos were the most interesting.

It is difficult to imagine. Well, let there be no carnival, and Underwater. If you remove the color, then mngogo I left?

Well, yes ... Or the film "Avatar" in b & w would become worse.

Omon in the reflection on the hood of Mercy "- thing. Here the color would be quite superfluous.

Good pictures with meaning.
On his website http://www.moukhin.ru/

I like the "Youth 1985-1989" - the true spirit of the time!

Yes, super.
