Everything would be fine, but starched suits spoil many of her works.

I already understand Of course, you can't show something like that, it's for family use only. No one would think of showing passports or family photos to everyone. But Rozhdestvenskaya did.

Edu, Yes, but she's not showing her own passport photos or those of her relatives, but those of well-known celebrities. I hope she does so with their consent.

Nikolai, she takes famous paintings or illustrations, like here, imitates them using famous actors, costumes and interiors, and photographs them.

Nikolay Semyonov, it's just like dressing kindergarteners in costumes using Photoshop templates. Only a little more complicated.

Nikolay Maslyaev, Of course, with their consent. I just can't wrap my head around it. Galtsev alone is worth something.

Nikolay Semenov, it's just like dressing up kindergarteners in costumes using Photoshop templates. Only a little more complicated.

Pablo Ko., By the way, yes! Spot on.

The essence of the creative act there is precisely in placing media personalities in a pictorial context. The audience is glossy magazine readers. I can't even fully grasp yet what the photographer's job is—pressing a button? Creating "How's It Going?" is mostly the work of a stylist, makeup artist, and other team members.

A revealing conversation on this topic took place when Tugalev expressed outrage at the blatant copying of his photograph by Akhmadulina by a certain artist.

Oleg Popov, here the photographer is simply an unnecessary link between the stylist, makeup artist, costume designer, and retoucher. A webcam mounted on the retoucher's monitor would be quite sufficient. The process of creating masterpieces would be much faster and significantly cheaper.

Oleg Popov, that was an amazing story.

Vlad O, I don't think that would have worked. I intentionally said readers, not viewers. The point isn't in the image, but in the context it creates—one side's story of how they invited a media personality, the other side's story of her doubts, how to persuade her, and what funny things happened on set. It's all important.

She shoots with a Hasselblad, not all poor artists have such cameras, so they paint the old-fashioned way out of poverty, but here there are modern technologies and work teams.

Pablo Ko., No, it's not Photoshop. You can't do that. It's a costume production with real people and costumes.

Nikolay Semenov, I understand it's not Photoshop (although it's unlikely it would have been possible without it), but the principle is exactly the same:
