Photo exhibition of Tofig Shakhverdiyev "What is happiness" Automatic translate

Why are some people happy and others not. What can make a person happy, can one become happy and can one be happy. Gallery Gallery presents a personal photo exhibition of Tofig Shakhverdiyev, who is looking for answers to these questions every day. Questions are eternal as life itself.

Tofig Shakhverdiyev - documentary and feature film director, screenwriter, cameraman, photographer, teacher, laureate of many international and domestic film awards, member of the Union of Cinematographers of the Russian Federation, member of the Creative Union of Artists of the Russian Federation, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation, People’s Artist of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

Tofig’s photos seem simple. Simple stories. Simple feelings. Smiles. The views. But try to give them a name, and it won’t work. This is due to the fact that in this case, simplicity is rather the ultimate level of complexity. Tofig, both as the author of the photographs and as the author of the texts, is trying to get to the point that “you have to track it down, sneak up on you so that the wind blows on you, and the sun shines on it, so that no odor or accidental sound will disturb, so that it, shy invisibility, she forgot, went outside and lit up, at least for a moment. ”

That is why the works of Tofig do not need names. Words are too crude a tool, an extra intermediary between the spectator and the master, whose answers give everyone the opportunity to suddenly feel that he is suddenly, for no reason.
