Zalman Shklyar, a Moscow photographer, will be hosted by Blank Wall Gallery on March 9 with photographs that capture moments and trap time. The artist is emphasizing on the perspective, the shapes and the expressions of people, creating images with a special style that characterizes him. His works are of particular interest to viewers, as they narrate unusual stories in their own way.

Zalman Shklyar specializes in Street Photography. For the past 20 years, he has never separated with his camera, trying to portray moments that quickly dissolve in the vanity of the city.
Although he lives in Moscow, his photographs and his exhibitions are scattered all over Europe. He manages to reveal the metaphysical concept of the Street through the contrast and the prospect of detail.
He believes that he does not create the image himself, but he acts as a kind of "filter" that frees everything that passes through him. He believes that the main thing in photography is not creativity but understanding. "When the viewer tries to understand the photograph, then it is successful."
