Life without a dream has little or no meaning. Danish photographer Keen Heick-Abildhauge moved to Russia in 2009 and has been collecting "Dreams" those people with whom he happened to meet. In his photo report - 230 pictures, which capture people of all ages.
Talking about life in Russia, Keen Heick-Abildhauge recalls that he had many prejudices about our people. According to him, in Europe, Russians are considered unfriendly, closed, but the years spent in this country have dispelled all negative stereotypes. The people he met turned out to be sincere and ready to communicate. This is why Keen Heick-Abildhauge had the ambitious idea to create a project called: One Hundred Years: the Russian Portrait … To do this, he photographed people of different ages, grouping pictures in a sequence from 0 to 100.
Before taking a photo, Keen Heick-Abildhauge talked with the models, learned their name, place of birth, profession and, of course, their dream. With all this information, he accompanied every photograph in an extensive collection.
It is worth recognizing that the black-and-white portraits turned out to be very soulful, from these short stories the viewer can get a general idea of what modern Russians live, what they dream of, what they strive for. Some have simple everyday desires, some have grandiose plans. The main thing is that during a confidential conversation with a photographer, a light glows in the eyes, which means that there is a glimmer of hope and there is strength to implement the plan. And then - to set new goals, transforming this world!
No less interesting series portraits of Muscovites of the post-Soviet era presented by two talented Italian photographers Alessandro Albert and Paolo Verzon.
