The thing that I love about Misha Maslennikov’s pictures is that looking at them, really breathing them in, makes me feel like I’m in touch with something deep, something almost holy. There’s a quiet sense of spirituality in his frames—partly thanks to his choice of subject matter, partly due to his expert composition, partly a function of the purity of his approach—that is hard to find elsewhere. I’m a fan.

Misha does an extraordinary job documenting the people, life, culture, and magical world of the steppe with his poetic black and white photography. His work reminds us that the urban and digitized world that many of live in today is just one of many on this vast planet, and that the people he photographs are closer to the ageless struggle of human existence than many of will ever experience in our 21st century lives.

Descubrir el trabajo fotográfico de Misha ha sido toda una sorpresa, me ha llevado a diferentes partes de mis recuerdos.
Mi primera impresión fue sentir que estaba viendo fotogramas de Andrei Rublev o algún film de Bela Tár, el uso de las luces y los contrastes, lo humano de su mirada me han atrapado inmediatamente.

Misha es un excelente observador que plasma una cultura que para mí, es muy lejana. Mediante su fotografía ha logrado transportarme a esa parte del mundo que tanto he consumido en películas y literatura. Estoy muy agradecida por la oportunidad de entrevistarlo y por tan magnífico trabajo.
