    Alexey Titarenko is a renowned Russian photographer known for his distinctive style and powerful imagery. Born in 1962 in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), Titarenko has made significant contributions to the world of fine art photography. Here are some career highlights:
    Photographic Style: Titarenko is recognized for his long-exposure black and white photographs, often capturing urban landscapes and city life. His images often convey a sense of movement, time, and the human experience within the context of urban environments.
    Series: One of his most famous series is "City of Shadows," created during the turbulent period of the 1990s in St. Petersburg. This series documents the city's decaying architecture and explores the psychological impact of living in a rapidly changing society.
    Exhibitions and Recognition: Titarenko's work has been exhibited worldwide, including in prestigious venues such as the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. His photographs have garnered critical acclaim and have been widely published in books, magazines, and art journals.

      not really a street photographer but ive always been extremely curious how Davide Sorrenti took photos. my understanding is that its done handheld so there is some natural blur, low lighting and exposure, and then creative posing and framing. the colours always bounce off eachother really well in his photos and i was just wondering if you could break it down. Great video

    Also, what great videos & photos you yourself have. I get easily distracted, and sometimes have a hard time following videos that are longer than 2-3 minutes….but you make the videos so easy to follow and understand, while explaining things that can be complex!

    1) SVEMA - almost correct pronunciation 😉
    2) For long exposures gorillapod could help. Course it's small and unobtrusive and you don't block the flow of the people.
    3) If gorillapod is no option, than a MONOPOD combined with a camera that has the IBIS should give you exposures longer than 2 seconds...

    6:06 gotta love his redbeard. Redbeard the platform guard. he was there to keep you safe, remember that.

    7:57 good one.
    9:48 would have been perfect if a shop owner stood still and looked at you, but allas.
    10:10 good one.
    I was looking at Alexeys pics and doing this in an interval setup is a good idea. didnt think of that. perfect it would be is to capture sharp an image behind the flood of passersby. like you both did.
