Although most people are not strangers to soft and romantic photoshoots, there is something about Vladimir Sumovsky's body of work that makes viewers take a second glance. Whimsical and at times abstract, there is definitely an artistic touch to each image that makes his work worthy of being hung in an art museum.
Hailing from Moscow, Russia, Vladimir Sumovsky seems like a veteran photographer at the mature age of 46. Considering that his portfolio centers around gracefully innocent and young women, I feel as though Vladimir Sumovsky brings a worldly touch to his subjects.
With a particular focus on portraits, Vladimir Sumovsky flits between black and white shots as well as muted color shots. He also spends his time in both studios and natural settings.
