RUSLAN BOLGOV
The sublimator for feminine curves
Ruslan Bolgov was born in 1974 in Klaipeda, Lithuania, on the shores of the Baltic Sea. His earliest photographs were taken as a teenager, but he didn’t take the experience very far at the time. It wasn’t until the end of his studies in economics and finance that he seriously applied himself. He bought a full-frame camera, whose image sensor was the same size as the sensor of an analog camera and started to take pictures of landscapes. He developed a taste for it and tried his hand at portraits of women with some success. Although he has kept his job as an executive in the port industry, photography started to gain increasing importance in his life and he now appears among the international Who’s Who of the Photographic Society of America (PSA). He affirms that he works hard on his photos in postproduction and likes to let himself be taken by surprise: “sometimes the final result is very different from the initial idea that I had in mind at the time of the shoot,” he explains. He is approachable and seeks inspiration from other photographers via the websites 35photo.pro or 1x.com, while also hosting a blog on Steemit, an alternative social network where each member is rewarded for their publications.

Interview
Can you tell us about your book La dualité de la femme ?
The two poles are the past and the future, and between them is the present. Two poles - reality and fantasy, and in their continuum is my work. Two poles, it's the muses in the frame and me behind them. There are many things I am less sure of than the fact that the way each of us sees the world depends on the experiences we have, which change over time together changing us. In my work I try to reveal the charm of duality - there is no one straight and one story; although sometimes we are looking for it and sometimes we seem to find it. Let there be room for everyone's interpretation, because the most important thing is not what I want to show, but what you want to see. I invite your life experience to a rendez vous with the wandering reflections of your life.
