Pictorial Yekaterinburg. Part 1. Илья Буркман

      Introduction

      Let me introduce you, dear reader (or photography lover), my first photo album in English.

      This photo album is a collection of my works made for 2020 and January 2021. This is the first part of a collection of photographs. Starting from this photo album, I refuse any words and comments, only photos, their names and where they I created.

      All photographs I created in a pictorialism movement. If in past years (2018-2019) I was looking for my own style, then already in 2020 I fully found it, and I continue to create and develop it.

      Interestingly, despite such a difficult year, in 2020 I managed to find myself in this interesting style. However, I realized that my pictorialism is just a postmodern copy. This is not bad.

      I believe that modern photographers, influenced by the original pictorialism of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, cannot take pictures exactly by repeating it. He will shoot in a postmodern style. In any case, this is still pictorialism, more modern and, I would even say, modernized.

      So let me introduce you to my first real photo album, in which, since 2020, I fully follow the style that once so clearly and decisively elevated photography as an art form.
