Boris Savelev was born in the Ukraine in 1948 and moved to Moscow in 1966. He is a graduate of the Institute of Aeronautics and joined the Moscow photography club Novator in 1970. He became a full time photographer since 1982 and has had numerous exhibitions worldwide.
He is one of the best known photographers working in Russia today. Savelev’s work is about light and form -not people, but his images retain a peculiarly Russian sensibility.
