Gueorugi Pinkhassov

 Gueorugi Pinkhassov was born in Moscow in 1952. His interest in photography began while he was still in school. After studying cinematography at the VGIK (The Moscow Institute of Cinematography), he went on to work at the Mosfilm studio as a cameraman and then as on-set photographer. He joined the Moscow Union of Graphic Artists in 1978, which allowed him more freedom to travel and exhibit internationally. He is known for his vivid art-reportage, which elevates the everyday to the extraordinary.

Also the windows in the back make the picture more interesting to me adding some light to the photo.
