Alexey Titarenko

Alexey Titarenko is a black and white photographer capturing movement through industrial towns. His interests seem to lie within the city but old-fashioned parts, such as older buildings and people. The way he captures his photos the people look like like ghosts which could be done as Tirarenko pictures deserted lonely buildings, the people are ghosts as the place he pictures is deserted.



This is a picture from his website and the title of it is called "time standing still" this is great as it's something which is really eye capturing, it makes me think. This photo would of been taken on a tripod and using the shutter speed for probably 3-4 seconds to show that the person is there but to make them also look like a ghost. The mise-en-scene such as what they're wearing is perfect as it adds to the blurriness of the people. I really like how it's taken in black and white as it makes the context of the photo seem old, alongside the builiding used. I think it's quite a scary photo as the people do seem like ghosts as wearing white contrasts against the black and white effect.



This photo is very clever as it uses movement from lighting such as the swirls but also the movement of the people. I think this photo has been edited so two different pictures have been faded onto each other and I think it looks really interesting. The lighting is really beautiful as it's a built up town so the lighting has come through the side of a building. I would really like to trial this by editing two photos on each other using Photoshop then fading them.
