Unique Footage by Cosmonauts Oleg Kotov and Sergey Ryazansky<\/h3>\n
\n\t

Photographers come in all kinds: fashion, wedding, interior, documentary, provocative... And then there are space photographers\u2014in every sense of the word. For the major international project \u201cMan and Space: Art, Science, Culture\u201d<\/a>, two cosmonauts and Heroes of Russia\u2014Oleg Kotov and Sergey Ryazansky\u2014shared with our gallery the secrets of space photography and unique images captured from the International Space Station. Their extraordinary photographs became the basis for the exhibition \u201c28,000 km\/h,\u201d which will be held in the south of France from April 26 to May 6, 2018.<\/p>\n

Space Photography Facts:<\/h2>\n

- The ISS orbits at a speed of 28,000 km\/h\u2014nearly 400 kilometers in the blink of an eye, or 220 times faster than hurricane-force winds.<\/p>\n

- There are only 20 seconds to photograph an object that catches the eye. In that time, the photographer must pick up the camera, frame the shot, and take the picture.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

- Cloud cover and the flight path impose certain limitations, making it impossible to capture some of the most fascinating subjects even over the course of three years.<\/p>\n

- The ISS travels at an inclination of 51.6 degrees. Under these conditions, only objects lying within 55 degrees north or south latitude can be photographed clearly. Anything beyond those limits can be seen only at very high magnification and from a sharply oblique angle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

- From an artistic perspective, the greatest challenge of space photography is the impossibility of giving every image a sense of three-dimensional depth.<\/p>\n

- Subtle details and unique contours visible to a cosmonaut\u2019s eye may be far less discernible in a photograph. This is why photographs are often taken through the side windows, which creates the desired effect but invariably prompts viewers to ask: \u201cWasn\u2019t this taken from an airplane?\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sergey Ryazansky:<\/strong> \u201cWhen I speak about the challenges of cosmonaut training, spaceflight, and working aboard the ISS, I often realize that words cannot express everything that overwhelms me up there. How can you explain \u2018sweetness\u2019 to someone who has never tasted candy?! It can only be experienced. Space is the same. It is beauty in the absolute, beyond all measure. It cannot be comprehended or embraced without being seen. In selecting photographs for this exhibition, I wanted very much to reveal the diverse and multifaceted landscapes of our astonishing planet. I want to share an unearthly perspective on earthly beauty\u2014a beauty beyond words, which draws us to reach for space again and again. I want to share with viewers something they will probably never see for themselves through a spacecraft window, but which they can behold through my eyes, here and now.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM @ SergeyISS<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Oleg Kotov:<\/strong> \u201cSpace photography is a creative pursuit that requires not only inspiration but patience as well. Suppose you decide to find and photograph Jerusalem. The station does not pass over it every day. You may have to wait a month for the right opportunity. Moreover, the time spent flying over each stretch of land is just 20 seconds. In those few seconds, you must find it, see it, identify it, and take the photograph. A true photographic hunt!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
