Building campfires, running wild in the woods and making out after dark – Irina Yulieva’s photos capture the beauty and strangeness of coming of age in rural Russia.
"The first time I picked up a camera I was 12 years old," says Irina Yulieva."My uncle was a photographer and he explained how it worked. Then I photographed everything: my friends, family, my cat." After that initial obsession - the kind that makes you unbearably annoying for a month or so until you find a new one - Irina didn't pick up a camera again for 20 years, until she decided to study photojournalism in her native St Petersburg.
We swam, fished, picked mushrooms and berries in the forest and roasted potatoes in the campfire. There was fresh milk, there was haying. My grandpa made boats, something like Indians' canoes, and he took me out to the forest with him to check the traps. And we swam far away, to the most desolate places. I also remember this very special smell of puppies, because my grandpa used to breed Eskimo dogs. I remember the black sky, too, filled with stars. It all seemed to last forever.
