Alexey Terentyev
Alexey Terentyev was born in Moscow in 1974. Graduated from the University of Printing. Studied documentary photography and photography as a form of contemporary art. Member of the Union of Photographic Artists of Russia. Photography interests me first of all as a way of research. Research of the world, ways to find happiness and harmony, research of myself. With the help of photography you can not only tell something to other people, but also discover something new for yourself, something you don't know yet. This is one of the most amazing features of photography. A photograph itself is just a way of transmitting information, and the main significance is the people standing on both sides of the frame - the author and the viewer. It is very important what we can put into our photos and what we can see in them. And a great success is when there is something in the photos that touches your heart and soul, often bypassing your consciousness. Most of the time I photograph while traveling in the SEA countries, India, Tibet. I am interested in people who have a worldview system that is a little different from what is generally accepted in the West. I am interested in people for whom spirit, soul is more than just a figure of speech. We have a lot to learn from them. As a result of my travels, I have published many articles in various magazines that I work with as a photojournalist.
