Petr Lovigin (Russia)

Born in 1981 in Yaroslavl (Russia). Petr started photography in 2006. Photo is more than one way to express the world of emotions, imagination, to illustrate personal life.
If we are talking about the genre of "fine art" - I create photo stories based on a mixture of fairy tales and modernity. Travel art, I basically do the same, striving for maximum artistry of my shots. I'm not interested in the reality.
- What is special? In a travel art and fine art I managed to create my own philosophy, my mythology, my fictional world with fictional characters, the author's invisible presence in the picture.
2009 — released his first book «Costarica-soul», in the same year he is represented in Europe by the CLAIR gallery (Munich). In the winter of 2009/2012 takes several long journeys, exploring South-East Asia, South and Central America and the Caucasus.
In 2012, with the publisher Kehrer releases his first European book Planet Lovigin, followed by a new Russian-language edition of «Indian summer» of his trips to India.
After my previous camera became obsolete, I wanted to have something faster to shoot, with video capability, pleasant to the touch and nice exterior. But most importantly, camera should give me the same colors that I used in previous years. Color that feature my photos. Fujifilm gave me everything.
