Images by Vladimir Panasenko
His photographs study the lives of the very rich, the very poor and everyone in between. Each image is powerful on its own, and when viewed in pairs the effect is breathtaking.
Vladimir’s cameras are an important part of his work and his craft extends to his custom Leica film cameras with their wood and brass. When asked about them, Vladimir states, “I would like to quote ancient Ukranian folk wisdom: If you want a wife who will always stay by your side, marry someone so ugly that nobody will want to touch her. I am married to my Leica M2’s.
One of Vladimir’s modified Leica M rangefinders: Leica M2 937 172.
In addition to silver gelatin prints, a postcard set consisting of five photographs will be offered at the start of the exhibition and be limited to a small edition. Once the set is sold out, the postcards will no longer be available but other sets will be made available in the future. The set is $20, contact Leica Store San Francisco at (415)-801-5066 for more information or to purchase one.
There will be an opening reception on Thursday, May 7, 2015 from 6pm-8pm: FREE admission.
