Yuri Vasilyevich Abramochkin is a classic of Soviet photography, a world-famous master. Abramochkin has been working successfully as a photojournalist for more than half a century. He was one of the first to shoot the so-called non-stop photo - today's reportage shooting genre. Working for a long time in a weekly newspaper, he gained valuable skills and experience, so his photographs are both accurate and lyrical. So you can successfully catch the right moment only after going a long way, full of labor and attentiveness. The heroes of his photographs are famous and unknown people, happy and unhappy, taken during the holiday and in a domestic setting. Particularly good are his portraits of ordinary people, in which the viewer often sees a reflection of reality. Looking into their faces, you recall your childhood, joyful moments, expectation, awe and doubts - all of which our life is made up of.

The master tells the secrets of a successful photo - you just need to look at the person you are going to shoot, talk heart to heart with him. And when the future hero of the picture assimilates and opens up, start shooting.
