Still life photo art by Svoboda
For Russian amateur photographer Elena Andreeva (Svoboda) photography has become her lifestyle. She began photographing in 2006 quite by accident, when her friend, a designer, told her about a short course on photography. At first, Elena engaged in genre photographs obtaining emotions. Then, not immediately, she came to portraits, animals, landscapes and, of course, still lifes. Talented photographers, such as Alla Semenova (PhotoSova), Julia Medvedev, Andrei Glamozdov (Gvozdj) have influenced Elena. Advice of colleagues, criticism and the objects that surround her in everyday life help develop and become better as a photographer.

A talented and creative photographer and poet, Anatoly Vostochny lives in Odessa. Gallery of his photographs consists of more than 10 thousand pictures on different themes. In particular, portraits, landscapes, still lifes, animals, children, genre, travel, black – white, and retro …
From the extensive collection of photographs I have chosen a series, which I could title “Flower Kaleidoscope”. They are bright positive pictures, creatively processed in Photoshop. Born in the USSR, Anatoly lives and works in Odessa, and feels a bit nostalgic about his Soviet past. According to Vostochny, Soviet Union – is his homeland, his family, and his home. “I come from Mariupol. And now I have there children, grandchildren and many relatives: only siblings cousins – 44 of them. So it is really my city …. Well and Donbass … Also, I lived in Moscow, Krasnoyarsk, St. Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don, Vorkuta … How many good things were in the USSR”.
