Sasha Gusov (b. 1960, Taganrog, Russia) was first introduced to photography at the age of 13. He moved to England in 1989 with $10 and a camera. Gusov established his credentials as “an image-maker with something to say” in 1993 when a self-commissioned photographic project “Images of the Bolshoi Ballet’s,” taken during the company’s 1992 London tour, was published by the British Journal of Photography.Â
Often with elements of humour, Gusov explores the nuances of human mannerisms and his archive is a richly diverse and interesting resource of portraits of leading artists from theatre, music and dance.
