On October 2, the Russian House in Brussels invites you to a masterclass with Yuri Molodkovets, artist-photographer of the State Hermitage Museum, and Ksenia Lugovskaya, coordinator of digital and audiovisual projects.

Language: Russian/French

A museum is not only a space where masterpieces are carefully preserved but also a source of visual inspiration. How often, when faced with beauty, do we instinctively reach for our smartphones and press the shutter… Yet, how often do we truly want to revisit those photos?

At the masterclass, Yuri Molodkovets, a world-renowned photographer, will present some of his best projects created at the Hermitage and share tips on how to turn ordinary smartphone shots into true art. Light, angles, and unusual perspectives on exhibits and interiors — the museum photographer will reveal his secrets.

Ksenia Lugovskaya, author of numerous documentaries, online tours, and short inspiring videos, will explain how modern digital formats can bring museum spaces to life and make them more engaging for every visitor.
