Mikhail Paramonov — photographer and visual artist working with themes of youth, trust, and human vulnerability. For more than two decades he has developed a distinct artistic language in nude photography — one built not on poses, but on silence, sincerity, and the fragile honesty of the moment.

Paramonov works exclusively with non-professional models, using a method he calls the Protocol of Trust — a process where photography becomes a shared space, and the image grows from presence, not direction. His visual language emerges from natural light, shadow, and the slow rhythm of the living city.

His books have been published by Edition Reuss, Goliath, and Mammoth Books, and his works have appeared in numerous international exhibitions. His fine-art editions are held in private collections worldwide.

“Every photograph is not a record of reality —

but a key to another world where time slows,

and beauty becomes enduring.”
