Gennady Meergus

Extremely enthusiastic, Gennady enjoys all kinds of photographs. He is especially appreciative of Japanese and Russian photographic art.

Shooting nature, landscape, cityscapes, Gennady focuses on somewhat static, relaxing landscapes, emphasizing calmness and harmony. His photographs include many macro shots, mostly of flowers.

An enthusiast of digital photography as a more exact, more immediate and environment-friendly media, Gennady had always dreamed of a ‘film-less’ photography, of using a media that would directly "remember" the image instead of capturing it on one-use materials.
