According to modern standards of active successful growth passion for photography came to me pretty late in life. I have reached the acme (anc.-greek ακμή) age of 40, and my vision of the world has completed its formation from both, the aesthetic and visual, as well as spiritual and moral standpoints. That’s why everything that can be seen in my works is not a search of an artistic path or of a creative expression, but a pursuit to fill the frame with self-contained semantic load using visual methods available to my artistic education.

По современным меркам активного и успешного продвижения, увлечение фотографией пришло ко мне достаточно поздно. Я достиг возраста акме и мне исполнилось 40 лет. Моё видение мира полностью сформировалось как с эстетической, визуальной, так и с духовной, нравственной сторон. Поэтому всё, что можно увидеть в моих сериях работ — это не поиски творческого пути или авторского высказывания, но стремление осознанного наполнения кадра доступными для моего художественного образования изобразительными свойствами и, в рамках собственного опыта, самодостаточной смысловой нагрузкой.

YOUR PHOTOS TOUCH THE HEARTH. They amplify in spite of themselves the dramatic difficulty of the present. And open a Door on a world that invokes every possible fraternity against hatred

Except for a brief period in the late 1980's when I spent time there, my "memories" of the land of my ancestors is all seen from my late Mama's words....misha brings all of her words to life in his photographs, they are a precious gift. Thank you, Misha.

Le sfumature che riproducono temperature e atmosfere che credevo confinate soltanto nei film di Bergman e che ora ritrovo nei volti dei personaggi e nelle ombre delle fo… Read more

Sto qui a guardare la sua serie di immagini e rimango incollato allo schermo, attratto da colori e grigi di una fotografia antica e ormai introvabile. Le sfumature che riproducono temperature e atmosfere che credevo confinate soltanto nei film di Bergman e che ora ritrovo nei volti dei personaggi e nelle ombre delle foto di misha. Sono affascinato dalla sua tecnica e dai suoi tagli drammatici delle scene... forse la mia è soltanto sana invidia!

Moreover, he is a master of light and composition- professional quality there, no doubt about it. I warmly recommend his stunningly spiritual work! Свако добро!!! Tanjica
