In early August, the first industrial photography competition was launched, in which professional, talented photographers were invited to take part. It will end on September 16. The works, which will be recognized as the best according to the results of the competition, will be exhibited at the Artmuza Museum of Contemporary Art in St. Petersburg.

In addition, the winners will receive gift certificates, with which they can purchase the photographic equipment they need. In total, such certificates will be issued in the amount of 700 thousand rubles. Photographers who will be able to qualify for the final with their works will receive special nominations and gifts from the partners of the competition.

The organizer of the "Razmakh" competition is a federal group of engineering companies that has been operating since 1997. Initially the company was opened in St. Petersburg, but now it operates throughout the Russian Federation and is one of the 100 largest dismantling companies in the world.

More attention is always attracted to reportage, portrait, landscape photography. Industrial or industrial photography is rarely paid attention to, although with its help talented photographers can show the full power and scale of industrial facilities created during the Soviet Union, as well as modern enterprises. The industrial photography competition was created in order to make this direction in photography more popular.

Sergey Efremov, managing director of the Razmakh group of companies, said that for more than two decades this organization has been engaged in the most complex dismantling projects at industrial enterprises, while photographing is always carried out at such facilities. Razmach is proud of its collection, which includes both modern modernized enterprises and industrial facilities of the Soviet era.

Talented photographers are involved in order to capture the work of specialists of the Razmakh group of companies at the facility. This genre of photography is considered very difficult and this year, thanks to the industrial photography competition, a large number of people will get to know it.

Both individual photographers and entire groups can take part. There will be two winners in the competition: Industrial Dismantling and Industrial Photography. Works should not have signatures, they should not be processed and retouched, color and contrast correction, cropping are allowed.
