Photographer #288: Anna Skladmann
Anna Skladmann, 1986, Germany, is a young documentary photographer who lives and works between New York and Moscow. She focused on several projects in Russia. Recently her book Little Adults was released, a collection of portraits of priviliged children in Russia. These Russian kids belong to the "nouveau riche" and grow up surrounded by money. They are considered to become the next elite class of the post-communist country, putting pressure on them to become achievers. In a country where the gap between rich and poor is so large, it starts to raise questions about the notion of normality. Anna photographed the children that behave like little adults in their own surroundings and clothes. The following images come from her personal series Little Adults, Sochi and Portraits.

A-ha-ha, I luuuv this:"In a country where the gap between rich and poor is so large, it starts to raise questions about the notion of normality." Which country is it again? USA? Noooo.... Everything normal here.
"In a country where the gap between rich and poor is so large, it starts to raise questions about the notion of normality."
Which country is that, Russia? We are so lucky here in the States this gap is much narrower, no poor at all, and riches are not that rich. I mean, at least not as those bad, bad Russians.
C'mon, cold war is over, forget about politics and focus on photography.
