A travel photographer who also moonlights as an art director and filmmaker, Vadim Sherbakov is a prolific creator whose work has graced the campaigns of a multitude of commercial clients. However, success and commissions haven’t always been the case for a photographer whose professional career started slow and included a two-year-long hiatus away from the camera before settling on his specialty. It was a trip to Iceland that finally awakened the love for landscape photography in Sherbakov and he never looked back. Since then, he has created a large portfolio dedicated to the landscapes and cityscapes of the world and shooting aerial photography became yet another way to capture the beauty of the scenes that stirred him.
In this personal project, the Russian republic of Altai in southern Siberia is the subject of Sherbakov’s wide-open shots from the sky in which meandering rivers bend through rugged, mountainous land scattered with pine trees. The images do not merely capture the extreme beauty of the area but reflect on the solitude of a wilderness untouched and undeveloped.
