Masha Ivashintsova is now immortalized with the growing group of distinguished female photographers as Vivian Meyer and Imogene Cunningham. Sadly the world learns of their talents far too late and with so much material missing and lost.
Thank you so much for this video! Have to admit I have not heard about her on any Russian media outlet. Thank you for. sharing art or russian people especially in this crazy climate that we have today. Really really beautiful and transcended photography that brings humanity and relatability through every shot. Amazing!
So grateful that you took the time to research and share this with us. I was not familiar with with her work, but am constantly looking for women photographers for inspiration and what a pearl she is! 🙏
You share the intimacy of her work in a most poetic manner. A thoughtful glimpse into the soul of an introverted artist. Beautifully edited, eloquent narrated with evocative music setting the perfect mood for introspection. 🕊Bless🕊
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts Gary glad to see you enjoyed a lot of different things about this video! I appreciate the positive feedback :) all the best 🕊
Thank you! So nostalgic. Pictures of so many places of my childhood and youth. I miss my home city so much. And it is shown here in a such an authentic manner
Very interesting , and well put together. So many photographers come to surface thanks to people like yourself, giving us an insight of the world we live in.
I applaud you for this gem... out of several of your videos I've seen this is by far the best one, with the most documentary "discovery" value. Too bad you couldn't add just a few more details from her life. Don't pay attention to some negative comments... one can never please the world. You've done a great job here. And the advertisement is in the end, so it's not that irritating.
This is such a captivating & heartfelt video. It's so great of you to find this gem of an artist and share it with us. Wonderful photographs- the boy in front of the bird cage, two young girls looking out the window, the couple with a stroller. It somehow took me back in time, a time when I was a kid. Thank you so much.
Poetry: Yes, her pictures are poetry, and so are your commentary and narration. Like breathing: IMHO, it is the highest form of human achievement for anyone serious about his/her craft, be it photography, engineering, finance, music, sports. Shostakovich Waltz # 2: The perfect music to represent the photographer, her photography, her time, her world, and the struggle of the Russian people under the Soviet system. Thank you once again for another beautifully made video.
Thank you for continuing with this series of photographers and their work. They have been valuable lessons for all photographers who are into portraits, street photography and nature too.
As someone who lives in Sankt-Peterburg and who really liked the similar story of V. Mayer, I'm super thankful to you for opening Ivashintsova name for me. Love your videos.
👍 Thank you so much to let us know Masha Ivashintsova, and her poetic works. At the beginning, Waltz no.2 with Masha’s works like a classic Eastern Europe movie, full of hope and sad. 👍
These videos are beautiful. I have to watch them a little at a time because It's a lot to process. Especially when you introduce a person that is capable of speaking to you in an intimate way, just with her own story and photographs. Being able of clearing the fog, the noise, the unnecessary in a moment.
Thank you Luca! Glad you enjoyed them and take your time watching them its a lot to process that's right, it takes me a long time as well to put them together because of that :) cheers for watching!
Hi Tatiana, just got around to seeing Masha's work. Thanks for bringing her to our attention. Yet another talented creative artist who battled with mental health issues - tragic indeed. I hope a monograph of her work is produced in the near future. Speaking of Russian photography, I've recently acquired a copy of Emil Gataullin's book Towards the Horizon, which is marvellous. Would be great if you could review his work and possibly interview him. Keep up the great work Tatiana - it's really appreciated.
Thank you for telling us about Masha, I also spent very important years of my life in Saint. P. Looking at her photos I can say that she felt the soul of this city, saw its guts and hidden corners, which in the bustle of the city few people notice. Also thanks for the Shostakovich waltz, you delivered the right vibe❤️
Excellent! As are all of your videos. These film black and white photographers' work you showcase is inspiring! Makes me want to go out and use my vintage film SLRs even more so!
Loved this. So glad you did compare her story and work to Maier's but avoided all the hyperbole that surrounded the selling of the discovery of Maier's work as a disruptor of the photography canon and of the institutions that entrench photography and art canons. Both photographers are about human stories, in their case their own and others. Lovely that you captured this here. Coincidentally, I was going through some of my photos from 8 years ago and doing some editing, but noticing how, even though I really did not "know" what I was doing technically and I was using a used camera (a 6MP Nikon d50 w/a kit zoom), I got some cool photos that with a bit of editing look great, at least to me. But that is what strikes me about Ivashintsova & Maier: both made photos because they loved to do so, they found a form of expression that was also introspective, and they may or may not have been into the technical aspects of photography. They certainly thought about basic elements like composition and light, but they were also willing to just happily capture what they saw, what interested them. I do wonder what each woman would have done with their photos in the darkroom, how they would have manipulated their photos and which they would have shared as "good." I also think about the few solid images of theirs curators share as opposed to the many that were discarded by whoever curates their work, but it intrigues and saddens me that we will never know both women's standpoint about their "finished," processed work. But overall, very cool. BTW, interesting that both women were very aware of using high quality gear. About the intro music selection, it reminded me of Black, a Bollywood (not musical) film that reimagines the Helen Keller story. The opening credits were so visually lush, but the soundtrack made me start tearing up from almost the first note. The opening of your video moved me almost as much. Anyway, thank you. Again.
wow thank you so much for your comment, I really appreciate the insights and I tend to agree specially because we will never know how they would've seen their own finished work, I suppose with Masha's work, it is at least being handled by a relative in this case her daughter who knew the person she was, but in Vivian's case, even the documentary made about her tries to piece who she was by having different people that knew her for a bit talk about her so its hard to say with this case. But they definitely are similar because they enjoyed photography for what it is and it seems to me, it was held close to their hearts :) Glad to also know you were moved by the intro, that is one of my favourite waltz ever. All the best!
Thank you for sharing. Despite being a Russian with a keen interest in photography, I've never heard of her name. Her story is a great example of how independent talents were not appreciated and not needed in a Soviet country, or even were considered harmful for the regime.
Another wonderful, highly professional presentation Tatiana. How many other brilliant female photographers who roamed the streets of their cities to freeze the moment like this example and that of Vivian Maier are yet to be discovered? The mind boggles.
@@TatianaHopper It isn’t only women that went recognized. Almost all photographers go unrecognized. It is the nature of the beast. Why should Ivashintsova and Maier have been recognized? Was any effort made by these artists to publicize their work? Some effort must be made by someone to achieve notice. Mask On Nurse Marty
Really like her photography. Really down to earth every day living that we pass by taking for granted. Fortunately her work was kept safe for us to see. Warmth in her photos. Such a sad ending for her.
Incredible images and when you said she was born in 1942… I go chills. I have a tattoo of 1942, it was my father’s birth year. You make amazing videos.
Just come across this documentary while having a browse on UA-cam! Like many I have never heard of Masha but I have now, her pictures are a credit to her, and yes the story is very similar to Vivian Maier and a very sad ending. Thank you so much for showing us all some of Masha work I look forward to seeing some more, once again thank you!
Fabulous video! Great to see a piece on someone that I was totally unaware of, and some amazing documentary images of a world that was hidden to most of us in the "west". I certainly want (and intend) to check out more about her so thanks for putting me on to this photographer. I also loved your use of that Shostakovich waltz. Cheers.
Thank you for making me aware of Masha I. Most of the images you shared showed a great skill in framing and capturing the moment. Every picture made me want more context about Russian society, the buildings or people in the pictures.
Thank you for introducing us to this surprising new unknown artist. Her work is wonderful, a real document. It seems to include people of the Soviet counterculture, which is mighty important. Maybe she is the Soviet Nan Goldin (if nobody had ever heard of Nan Goldin).

Thank you Chris! Hope you enjoy both the video and the cup of coffee ☕️
So grateful that you took the time to research and share this with us. I was not familiar with with her work, but am constantly looking for women photographers for inspiration and what a pearl she is! 🙏
Thank you Julie, glad that I took my time because everyone seems to be enjoying and this story deserves our attention!
Brilliant. Thank you. Your videos are always really helpful, and very interesting.
Thank you Alistair!
Thanks for highlighting two photographers who represent the exact opposite of "look at me" mentality of social media.
Just beautiful! Hadn’t heard of her before. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you so much watching Carlos! Appreciate it :)
Fascinating photography
Thank you so much for bringing Masha to our attention!
Thank you for watching, hope you enjoyed Masha's work :)
Thanks for this Tatiana. I only heard about Masha very recently and it’s great to see her receiving well-deserved recognition.
She is a great artist! Thank you for watching :)
And beautiful music selection as well. My gratitude for bringing these photographs to the world.
Thank you William!

Thanks for your video. It's a very good format. I love it !! I just discovered Masha with you. Her photos are wonderful
Thank you for watching, appreciate your words!
Thank you! So nostalgic. Pictures of so many places of my childhood and youth. I miss my home city so much. And it is shown here in a such an authentic manner
Excellent video - I'll have to look into Mash Ivashintsova more deeply.
Well done. I had never heard of her work before. Her story and work are very compelling.
Thank you so much for this! I just love learning about other photographers. Keep up the thoughtful work!
Wow, very inspiring indeed! Incredible body of work she’s done over her tragically young lifetime.
I know right very sad circumstances, however thanks to her family we can still discover and appreciate her photography today :)
Absolutely new to me. Beautifully presented and analyzed, as always. Thank you!
Thank you Owen! Glad you enjoyed the video and hope you also enjoyed her work :)
You opened something new for me again. Thank you Tanya!
Great video! Thank you 😊 for introducing her to us
Thank you Claudio! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Thank you for introducing Ms. Ivashintsova! Lovely, deceptively simple work
Thank you for watching Marty! Glad you really liked her work :)
AMAZING WORK AS ALWAYS. ALSO I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M THE FIRST TO COMMENT HAHA LOVING THE INTRO MUSIC TOO. VERY APPROPRIATE.
Thank you Reuben! Appreciate you!

I would say that her work is even more important than Mayer's one because it shows us life behind iron curtain in USSR. Thank you for this video🤍
Very good presentation, spaceba. Masha was so good.
Oh my gosh what a great body of work!! I am so glad to have seen this and learned of her presence!!!
Thank you so much Suzanne!
