Dmitry Markov - Photographs.

Dmitry Markov (1982–2024) was a Russian photographer who produced documentary work focused on provincial Russia. He was born in Pushkino, Moscow region, and began photographing while working with organisations supporting children and young people in orphanages and social care systems. This access shaped the early subject matter of his work, which included state institutions, temporary housing, and environments connected to welfare provision. From the early 2010s, he worked almost exclusively using a smartphone, primarily an iPhone, and published images directly to digital platforms.

Markov photographed in towns and cities outside Moscow and St Petersburg, including Pskov and surrounding regions. His images show interiors and exteriors of apartment blocks, hospitals, police stations, buses, railway platforms, and street environments. He used the built-in camera and flash on the phone, producing images in a square format determined by the device and platform. The use of flash at close range is visible in many images, particularly in low-light interiors such as corridors, rooms, and vehicles. The camera position is typically at eye level or slightly below, with subjects photographed at short distance.
