People on medium format, by Pavel Køndratiev

"I would choose anything but the positive film"

Tell us about yourself.

I was born in Moscow in 1987. Actually, I have finished a law education, but I work as a photographer. My specialization is fashion and commercial shooting.

When and how did the film journey begin for you?

On my twentieth birthday I was given my first professional 35 MM film camera. My experience began with shooting musicians on their live rock shows. After that I bought a medium format film camera.

What type of film do you usually shoot and what made you choose it?

I use 120 film type because it has a big resolution and vast "air".
