53 Photos of Russian Guys Who Want You to Look

Mitya Nevsky may have relocated to France, but everything he does is infused with a Russian sensibility that echoes the warm, fable-like stories of Chekhov and the hard-edged graphic qualities of Russian Constructivist art. Then there are the guys. Russian guys, who are so appealing that Nevsky has produced a photo book called just that: Russian Guys.

Miya explains his love of photography:

"I never imagined myself as a photographer and that photography would be my profession. When I celebrated my 12th birthday, my father presented me with my first camera. But it held my attention only for a short time.

'I grew up in a small town in Russia. After graduation, I moved to Novosibirsk, and then in 2008 to Moscow, where I held my second experience with the camera.

'It all started with the pictures that I took for a friend. Many people were impressed by the result of this experiment. I was advised do it professionally. For two years I studied the art of photography and works of world's leading photographers, such as Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, Annie Leibovitz, and Erwin Olaf. That time was not in vain, I improved my own style, and my work became recognizable.

'My photos have appeared on the covers of magazines and in internet publicity. In 2013, I collected the best works in a photo album, which was published as Book in limited edition. Nowadays, I can definitely say that photography has become not only my hobby but also a profession that takes all my life."
