Influences: Alexey Titarenko

May 7, 2012

Sooner or later, all of us who love street photography will receive a copy of Street Photography Now. The gift brought a smile to my face and sparked curiosity in the pages: Alexey Titarenko. His series “ City of Shadows” captivated me. It is certainly not what one would call classic street photography; in fact, the book often skirts the boundary of the classic, even quoting the famous line “reality can only be explained through fiction,” which I first heard from my most important influence, Krzysztof Kieślowski.
