Mikhail Belotserkovsky and Sergei Chaly “Theatrical photo stories”

Mikhail Belotserkovsky

Sergei Chaly

Is it easy to film actors? Two sought-after theater photographers will talk about the peculiarities of working in the theater and answer questions from the audience.

Mikhail Belotserkovsky began working as a theater administrator back in the 70s of the last century at the Maly Theater. And for the ninth year now he has been actively working in the field of theatrical photography. Belotserkovsky takes photographs in many Moscow theaters: State Academic Theater. E. Vakhtangov, Moscow Academic Theater named after. V. Mayakovsky, Moscow Art Theater named after. Chekhov, Moscow Drama Theater "On Malaya Bronnaya", Moscow Academic Theater of Satire, Moscow Theater School of Oleg Tabakov, Dmitry Brusnikin Workshop. Mikhail is a participant in the First Festival of Contemporary Photography “FIXAGE” (2016), author of personal exhibitions: “In the Light of the Footlights” (Art Club “Gallery”, Pechatniki, 2015), “In the Light of the Footlights - 2” (Center for Culture and Creativity “Nega” ", 2016), "In the Light of the Footlights - 3" (Moscow Music Hall, 2017).

Sergei Chaly became interested in photography in adulthood, focusing on filming in theaters: “For me, theater at its best is some kind of incredible, fantastic magic! When, practically from scratch, out of nothing, from some cardboard, from some curtains, from light and shadow, from an inadvertently dropped remark, from some gesture or glance thrown as if by chance, real life is born, forcing me, as a viewer, to believe in the reality of what is happening, to empathize, to forget about filming - this is the real magic. Trying to convey your own impressions in photographs is an incredibly interesting and exciting task.”

“FIXAGE” will be held in the mode of a democratic photo forum, a “gathering point” for amateurs and professionals working in the field of modern photography, where, in addition to the exhibits, there were lectures and master classes on numerous facets of photography: travel photography, city photography, etc.
