    "Aleksey somehow manages to catch beautiful, delicate, personal, expressive, balanced, raw images that transcend cultures. He catches his subjects off guard as if he was never really there. Or as if he had always been there by their side.

    Aleksey is 'our' Henri Cartier Bresson!"

    "Having just discovered Aleksey Myakishev's photography, I'm utterly compelled to write of his stark and beautiful work. What a photographer! This is documentary photography at its most powerful and immersive. His striking images and photo-stories are saturated with narrative and clarity. Truth is at their core, and Myakishev is their concerned witness with a brilliant eye for the aesthetic and the informative. A true storyteller of our times, thank you for sharing your incredible visions and perceptive experiences of others..."
