Back in the days of early photography, there was a group calling themselves ’The Brotherhood of the Linked Ring’, a society of photographers who shared a particular vision of the aesthetic over the mechanical roots of photography, in order to elevate it from a purely documentary process to Fine Art. This style of image making became known as the Pictorialist Movement.

 

The members of the group took on pseudonyms for their real names to be used during meetings, which were somewhat secretive and mysterious. You may see some of my artwork signed by ‘Falesney Clovek’ (pronounced - Faleshnee Klovesh​) - I’m merely representing myself using this alias when adopting this style of genre.​​
