Ruslan Lavrentyev

I am passionately keen on photography. Being a student I got my first film camera and started shooting years ago. My favorite genres are portrait, street, fashion and product photography. I like jazz, rock music, 1970's disco, fusion, funk and also painting. I am inspired and influenced by Rodney Smith, Irving Penn, Norman Parkinson, Patrick Demarchelier, Robert Doisneau, Josef Koudelka, Elliott Erwitt, Horst P. Horst, Brassai, Richard Avedon, William Klein, Fred Herzog, Garry Winogrand, Dominique Issermann, Lillian Bassman, Karen Radkai and Peter Lindbergh. I do simple, natural, true-to-life photography. I prefer a simple, film, cinematic look to my photos.
