The photojournalist Misha Friedman is renowned for his efforts to capture life in contemporary Russia; documenting subjects as varied as political corruption; the dangers of coal mining; the tuberculosis epidemic; and the Bolshoi Ballet. In publications ranging from the New York Times; the Washington Post; Time; and the New Yorker; Friedmanrsquo;s grimly evocative black-and-white images—“intimate; behind-the-scenes photosrdquo; (Time)—have been credited with capturing moments of intense pathos; bleak existence; and human dignity. He has received multiple international awards for his “unflinchingrdquo; lens and his intrepid reporting.For his new collection of photographs; Lyudmila and Natasha; Friedman trains his lens on a gay couple living on Saint Petersburg; offering a series of intimate snapshots of their relationship as it unfolds over the course of a year. Faced with a hostile political climate; financial difficulties; and often unstable living arrangements; the subjects of this stunning book reveal the possibilities for love in the most uncertain of times. With the fabled city of Saint Petersburg as its backdrop; Lyudmila and Natasha powerfully evokes both a vital place and the people who call it home.Lyudmila and Natasha was designed by Emerson; Wajdowicz Studios (EWS).
