One of the most famous street photographers of Vladivostok, Denis Korobov captures the unofficial side of the city you want to see on postcards and travel websites. According to him, his favorite genre is mystical realism. “The photograph is a mirror that reflects our world,” he says.
Denis started his photographic journey nine years ago, when he was 20. Since then he has changed a couple of cameras and has already held several solo exhibitions in Vladivostok and Moscow.
He offers the spectator a Vladivostok full of unpredictably bright colors and displays a range of meaningful still-life pictures. His Vladivostok is about forgotten old toys, cats taking rest inside of plastic bottles, as well as the unexpected contrast and drama present in everyday scenes and household items.
One can see Denis Korobov’s works at the exhibition ‘Far Focus. Photographers of Vladivostok’ at the Zarya Center for Contemporary Art until May 17, 2020.
