Profotos Evaluation - Andrew Soloviov


Andrew SoloviovUkranian photographer, Andrew Soloviov, has been working professionally in the stock photography field since 1974. Throughout his long-time career as a photographer, Andrew has had his award winning work exhibited in several galleries throughout the Eastern European region. He has also been published in several advertising and magazine campaigns during the course of his career.

Andrew's images are very strong in their composition, as well as in their presentation and actual physical properties. Several of the images in Andrew's portfolio gain their strength through his use of alternative processes and the actual film types he employs. The image on this page is a great example of Andrew's masterful understanding of composition, lighting, presentation, and the physical medium of photography. In this image, we see a perfect composition, with the rule of thirds being used well with the subject. The tilting of the frame adds a very dramatic tone to the image, which would not be evident otherwise. The lighting is very directional and flattering, as it is from a low angle, as evidenced by the long shadow of the subject. This long shadow greatly emaphasizes the subject by adding an interesting angle, and a strong diagonal to the frame. Along with all of these characteristics of this image, Andrew has emphasized his subject through his use of sepia-toned black and white film (the presentation and physical medium).

This is just one example of the flawless execution of photography principles, which you will find within Andrew's portfolio. Enter the portfolio of Andrew Soloviov and view the images of a true photographic master.
