read on paper magazine
The most difficult part of the project proved to be set design, says Slovohotov, due to tight schedules and commercial projects. In the end, the problem was solved thanks to the Space studio in Belgrade who invited the team to shoot at their warehouse, clad with designer furniture and props.
"During the shoot, I was just saying to Oleg how genius it was to find this location where everything came together — the studio, the lighting, the furniture”, admits Slovohotov.

the interview with sasha chaika 2024 alina muzychenko, arseniy koftun
read on project × media
alina muzychenko: The idea to interview Sasha came from Arseniy Koftun. Since I had worked with him a lot at Kultrab as a founder and creative producer and had produced several of his shoots, he was comfortable with me joining. Arseniy and I wrote the questions, and Sasha answered them.
arseniy koftun: Alina and I see great talent in Sasha. It was especially interesting to talk with someone with experience in indie magazines. My main idea was to get insights that could guide young creatives in making the right career moves.

the interview with arseniy jabiev 2024 dima slovokhotov, egor fedosov
read on project × media
dima slovokhotov: With Arseny, it’s simple: interviews with him are rare, and he’s had many high-profile shoots recently. We wanted to fill the gap and talk about his projects.
egor fedosov: We realized it was strange that such a renowned photographer had almost no interviews, and the few that existed were pretty outdated. So, we decided to ask him some questions. Plus, he has always been vocal about his political stance, even when it clashed with other opinion leaders—like his conflict with Abdullah, another major Russian photographer who gave in-depth interviews about the war. All of this seemed worth exploring.
