ABOUT ME
Vladimir Kurakov. PHOTOGRAPHY AS A WAY OF LIFE !
Vladimir Kurakov's studio was founded in 1997. Creativity and Experiment. This is a direction in which you can express your ideas, emotions or concepts through a creative approach to creating images. The main emphasis is on originality, experimentation with technique, composition, lighting, shadows, color filters, and Gobo masks. This is an approach that consciously departs from classical rules and patterns in order to explore new visual possibilities, break established norms and create unique, sometimes unpredictable images. Express a creative idea, play with light, shape, or randomness.
