‘City of Shadows’ is a hauntingly beautiful photography series shot by Russian photographer Alexey Titarenko. Using long exposure, he has captured residents of St. Petersburg trying to adjust to the short winter days. Consequently, the resulting images almost seem to convey the reality of ghosts, as the shadows encompass the true human form.
The works were produced from 1992-1994, nearly twenty years ago, but they are among some of the best when working with long exposure. The Russian captures the mood of the people and the surroundings, amalgamates the two to produce something special.
In 1983 Titarenko received a Master of Fine Arts Degree from the Department of Cinematic and Photographic Art at the Leningrad Institute of culture and immediately moved on to photography. In 1997 he was praised for his commitment and dedication to the field and invited into the Russian Union of Artists.
