The magazine of the photo-essay
March 2020 back issue
“A free, really high quality photo-essay magazine. Fabulous!”
Stephen Fry. British actor, writer and film maker
The Coal People is a fascinating insight into the lives of the miners of Russian
Siberia and the Far East. Maxim Marmur spent three years working on this project,
capturing the hard reality and the juxtaposed humour that can be found within it.
Maxim Marmur is a famous Russian photographer who has come a long way from
local newspapers to his position as a news photographer at the major global news
agencies. Marmur’s creative success is dictated by the trademark style of his visual
research. Every moment captured in his photographs overcomes the immediate
nature of reportage and acquires the quality of a self-contained piece of
photography. The grandeur of every fleeting moment of life—this is what we
experience when looking at Marmur’s photographs.
