What is interesting in contemporary Russian photography?
 

Colleagues who know the subject? What is interesting in the postwar and contemporary Russian photography? What are the names, what prices? Ret on hearing Boris Mikhailov (but this is a world recognition) and Francisco Infante (the sixties, now will be on November's Russian auctions in large quantities). If possible, please describe the interesting and promising directions. There are spices?

After the Second World War in the Russian photography has developed an interesting situation. On the one hand photographers, who received 30-e gg, the last war, so to speak photographers with a name (Anatoly Garanin, Yevgeny Khaldei, Arkady Shaikhet, Max Alpert, Boris and Olga Ignatovich, etc.) and on the other side - young amateurs who have come into professional photography . They learned from the masters of the old school, and old masters learned from them. Were so to speak, two creative groups, and there was no confrontation between them. This younger generation of photographers called the sixties. I would say - the phenomenon of Russian photography. This Valery Ikari-Rothe, Oleg Makarov, Aleksadr Rubashkin, Igor Gnevyshev, Nikolai Rakhmanov (on my first turned to color photography), etc..
Of the 90 contemporary photography:
Valery Schekoldin - photojournalist, combined with information and artistic photography;
Oleg Smirnov - I personally remember the pictures of Chechnya;
Valery and Natasha Cherkashin - already recognized experts in their field;
And finally a very, very contemporary noted Sasha would Manovtseva. I really liked her series "Grand Theater":)

Tamila, Tamila, and the prices you look? How general is available?

Tamila,
And how do you refer to Leo Borodulin?

Most would really like to orient in prices.
For example, I wonder what affect pricing than untwisted name of the photographer. Naturally, it is considered a way to print, date of manufacture, but sometimes it becomes clear why a shot with the wrong composition, obvious errors, and the impression that shot on a bar of soap is a decent amount of money: cool:

Very positive, it can also be attributed to the stars of Russian photography. I think was some sort of scandal, when he was forced to leave the country and move to Israel ...

Volodya Thank you for your response to my letter. Your opinion is very interesting. And what is now engaged Samoilov, I'm a long time his work has not seen. I heard that he had many years of not working, is it true? Works Sasha Viktorova I once laid out, but, unfortunately, found little. In the Internet there are almost none, and scan catalogs - not at all.

Hail the forum renowned photographer Vladimir Clavijo.
You listed the names do not raise any doubts in their photographic talents.
But let me ask why the photos, which I listed above are already included in the history of Russian photos of XX century, you think "terrible and very weak"?
Explain please.
I, incidentally guided by historians of photography, in particular the former chief editor of "Soviet Photo" GM Chudakova.

Dear Vladimir!
Take it away, please, with a finger press "Shift"! :)
