Igor Moukhin

Igor Moukhin (1961) is a prominent Russian photographer and teacher celebrated for his candid black-and-white documentation of the Soviet underground and the dramatic transformation of Moscow since the 1980s.

During the Perestroika and Glasnost era, Moukhin gained fame for photographing Soviet youth culture and rock legends such as Viktor Tsoi, Boris Grebenshikov, and Petr Mamonov.

Since the 1990s, he has focused on the evolution of the Russian capital, capturing the shift from the collapse of the USSR to contemporary Russia. His work is descriptive and objective, often described as a "birds-eye view" rather than a subjective point of view, focusing on everyday life without ideological filters.
