New Photographic Commission on the Capital of Azerbaijan by Magnum Photographer Gueorgui Pinkhassov
LONDON.- Baku with Love is a new photographic commission on the capital of Azerbaijan by Magnum photographer Gueorgui Pinkhassov. Situated on the Caspian Sea, Baku is a picturesque city that looks both East and West for its influences.

The mysterious, impressionistic quality of his pictures of Baku define that quality. Of his approach Pinkhassov says: “The only thing that counts is curiosity. For me personally, this is what creativity is about. It will express itself less in the fear of doing the same thing over again than in the desire not to go where one has already been.”
