В общем - фрагмент письма от Криса:
Regarding Salekhard, I don't usually have much of a fixed idea about who to shoot, I just try to find the most interesting people I can. I have photographed everyone from politicians to parking attendants. I do like to photograph people to show their environments so certainly one or two people in their homes might be good. I'm trying to track down a person who my publisher met in Russia last year who works at
the university and was involved with the baby Mammoth. People who work in museums, shopkeepers, boatmen, artists etc etc, really anything that is representative and also some more unusual. I appreciate that this is extremely vague but not be too prescriptive is part of the attraction of how I work on this project. Also, when I shoot people they can usually put me in contact with other people once they understand what I'm trying to do.
I suppose if you knew maybe half a dozen people who might make interesting shots that would be a good starting point but here are some specific suggestions if possible:
1. I think the giant Mammoth looks quite fun, a shot of anyone there would make a good shot
2. Are there any abandoned steam trains close to Salekhard, could make a good background.
3. Anyone who might have spent time in the Gulag ( my project is apolitical and generally upbeat but one or two more serious shots is good ).
4. Sculpture with an ice sculpture if there any.
5. Anyone involved in looking for Yetis !
6. Hovercraft pilot ( I saw a shot of one frozen in the ice which looked great ).
7. Anyone involved with traditional local music / sport.
It would be nice also to represent the ethnic groups that make up Salekhard. If I could get 10-15 really nice portraits I would be pleased. I have attached more examples below.
I hope you have a great time on your next trip and please say hello the photographers for me ( I had a look at their work which is really nice ).
Cheers,
Cristian
