Erin Copeland- Weekly artist post 6

Alexei Vassiliev





Alexei Vassiliev is a Russian photographer that creates blurry, unsharp photographs reminiscent of paintings. He uses long shutter speed to capture figures movements which result in ghostly images of people. Alexei uses a 35mm lens with long shutter speed and mostly artificial light.

What I love about these photos is the long exposure and the richness of color in all of them. I like how the portraits are not traditional portraits, but they are capturing the movement of the person. The blur and ghost like images on top of the pops of color make a really beautiful image.
