Views of St-Petersburg by I. Narovlyansky." This book features the photographic works of Ilya Narovlyansky, a photographer known for his depictions of St. Petersburg (formerly Leningrad). Ilya Narovlyansky (1921-2000) was a photographer born in Petrograd (later Leningrad, then St. Petersburg), who documented the city's changing epochs and daily life. He began his photography in the 1930s and worked at the Leningrad branch of the TASS news agency from the 1950s. Narovlyansky's photographs are noted for their unique artistic style, subtly working with light to create images with volume and depth, and offering a distinct perspective on the city's life. His work captures the "Romance of Soviet Leningrad" through his lens, showcasing a less idealized view compared to official Soviet photography.
