If a photograph can tell a story, then Vladimir Andreyev tells epics. Hailed as the "Tolstoy of photography," Andreyev specializes in recording nature at its most exquisite moments. In many of Andreyev's photographs, the sky occupies three-quarters of the picture, thereby offering sweeping views of the sky and setting the mood of each piece. Each picture creates a different mood, depending on the perspective and the quality of light; the artist sets an emotional tone of foreboding drama or quiet reflection. Andreyev's eye for beauty lends an almost painterly quality to his work, with their lush colors and romantic compositions. The artist states that his goal is to create a "poetic photograph" that transforms nature into something inspiring. Originally from Russia, Andreyev began his work as a photographer after he moved to the U.S. His award-winning work is exhibited in private collections across the U.S. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York....
