Sergei Romanov is one of Russia's preeminent photographers. The photographs presented in the book, made with the ambrotype process — resulting in one‑of‑a-kind images captured on glass — represent a new stage in photography, the so‑called “antiquarian avant‑garde,” that is, the radical rediscovery of obsolete photographic techniques. Sergei Romanov goes further than any other contemporary photographer in pushing his medium into imagistic territory never approached before, because he has ignored all the rules: he just doesn't care about good taste, or perfect craftsmanship, or total control, or conceptual strategies.
