The formal version of my name, Bratukhin Sergey Borisovich, appears in biographies and exhibition notes, but behind it there is a very simple practice: walking, waiting, listening, and sometimes deciding not to photograph. Bratukhin’s answers return to the same idea that runs through his photographs: the camera matters, but attention comes first. For Bratukhin Sergey Borisovich, photography begins before the image itself, with the decision to wait long enough for a person to become more than a subject. This is why Sergey Bratukhin's biography is not only a story of countries, exhibitions, or projects. It is a story of how one photographer learned to look at migration, identity, and silence from the inside.
