Autobiographical notes

Any spectator who saw my pictures and submitted slides, decides that he is dealing with the author, working in the genre of landscape. I will be right. He will be able to judge that, and as shown in these. But it's not the. The concept of my work is, where and how were photographed.
Subtle sense of beauty and perfection of nature was familiar to me always, from birth. Thirst to see as much as possible, has developed a passion for travel. And the realization that all these impressions are only in me, could not create the need for self-expression. It was logical to appeal to the photo art. The work is conducted in a complex and lengthy expeditions. In total isolation from civilization, in remote areas. Where can count only on themselves. Where the house is a fine tent, and food prepared on the fire. Moving on foot, with a heavy load on their shoulders, or on the water in a kayak and catamaran. When the degree of comfort to a large extent depends on the weather. Here in these conditions, I gradually start to feel a primitive man, a part of nature and see it not from outside but from within. That there are born of my pictures.
By placing a small part of his collection, computer data bank of art, I hope that it will not only see many viewers. In addition, counting also on the feedback. It would be very interested in intercourse as a publisher, and with people close to their activities,. I also think it possible or any joint projects with photographers, artists, amateur or professional travel travelers.

Criticism

Alone in the taiga and off-road, the mountains Putorana, rivers Vitim and Lower Tunguska. When on foot, when the kayak, but always with a camera traveling thirty-five Sergei Karpukhin. The result of the annual expeditions - the permanent exhibition and thousands of unique stories, seen the eyes of the artist.
