White unity

White garments suggest purity and discipline, yet in mass they turn into an unsettling faceless flow. Still, individuality breaks through: a glance, a gesture, a thought. This contrast creates the frame’s tension.

About Artist

Ilia Melnichenkov

I am a self-taught photographer. I love picking up a camera and taking pictures of people and the street. I have always loved cinema, so I decided to create photos that look like stills from movies to get closer to it. During the pandemic, I started shooting on film and studying the theory, history, and technical aspects of photography. I also work with people to develop my style and apply it to different conditions and projects.
