«I’ve taken a picture for fun.» Interview with Aldar Kistenov
We believe that talking to a Kalmutsky photographer is the most exclusive part of our media. Aldar Kistenov is only 25 years old, but he is already one of Elista’s most recognized and wanted photographers. Our team asked him how he had achieved that status and started working with Kalmakia’s most popular brands.
— What was your way into pictures of you generally to that’s what you came to? Where can Elista learn pictures? Are there any special places where they teach it? If you’re gonna say it, I’m gonna say it, I’m gonna go to it, I’m gonna go to it, I’m gonna take a picture after two surgeries on the heart. I’m like, <i> <i> <i> <i<i> <i<i> <i<i> <i<i>You need to do something, something that’s so funny, or else I’m i<i>i>i>it’s not gonna take a long time to live i>i> <i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>i>I need something to do something to do something to do something to do something to do something to do something to do something, I have to do something to do something, I have to do something, I have to do something, I have to do something, I have to do something to do something else, or something, or something else have something else, or something else, or something else, or something else, or something else, or something else, or something else, or something else, or something else, or something else, or something else, or else, or something else, or else, or something else, or else, or else, I' i' i' i' i' i' i' i' i' i' i' i' i' i' i' i' i' i' i' i' i' i’m not get. And after the operation I took a picture in 19 year, then the students had the opportunity to do it in Kalmikia. U we were such a student organization <Perricon» in CU. We there on free photo and video. The guys were trained more under the video because there’s got to be a whole lot of big, bigger girls there; photos and journalistics. I’ve been studying for about a year and a half until the master left alone. Roughly speaking, I’m more or less professional. I’ve started studying the year 2 back.
«I’m like, „So you have to do something, something so funny, otherwise I’m not gonna live here for a long time.“
#b> — You’re talking about problems with health, how did that motivate you to take a picture? 'Cause there’s a lot of different options, maybe there was some particular event, or you’ve seen something? –To those who see me in for the first time, I’m answer: <uo; well, just by prank». Seriously, like, it’s not gonna sound right now, but it’s gonna sound like it’s gonna sound, and really it’s gonna be like, you know, it’s gonna be me, and I’m gonna do the photo, and I’m gonna do it, and I’m gonna do it, and I’m gonna do it, and I’m gonna see it. When I had a problem with my health, the only thing that started was that I had a picture.
— A c why did you start? It’s just the phone or there was some kind of film? When we first arrived, we were immediately photographing the digital cameras. I–I-I-nbsp; started right off with good technology, and, by the way, all the conditions were there. A the computers had been updated, and there was actually a chic, we there could just come in for free, work on our projects, we weren’t really we were limited. Maybe it’s the only time they’ve been up late. How do you like working with the film? #/b> — Man, honestly, for the first time, I’ve bought the most expensive film in Moscow, because I’m not I know how it works. I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I, u-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I, u-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I, u-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–I-I–It’s kind of funny, isn’t it?
When we were looking at your account, Karina, one of the things that got to the 'nbsp; the first thing that got to the 'Nbsp' is the phrase about Wong Karawai. Please tell me in how is the influence of his creation on your and how did you get to know the author that you’re attracted to? — U the creative person always appears the phase in which he defines his style. U I’ve been going through this phase for years 3 back. I’ve watched almost all of his [Wong Karawai] films, and u I’ve been very much inspired by this director. I like the way he worked with the operator. U they had a very strong connectant. The flower itself, the story structure itself, or this vibe itself, it’s a very good one. I like it very much. First of all, it’s pre it’s unusual. We’re just like the Asian region, and I’m trying to adapt this Asian style to the Kalmutsky Wibes. I’m very excited about it. It’s one of my favorite directors.
— You in at first said that your style was a bit unusual for Kalmakia. I’m told, well, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m just, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not. Or even if I’m a 'nbsp; in’nbsp; filming studios, I’m a 'nbsp; using some sort of separate processing. Now there’s a lot of SMs, they can get a picture of their own phone, and it’s a base. Normal skin color, normal butt color, and everything. I’m trying to make all my work more filmy. It’s like I’m trying to make shots of 'nbsp; kinos, it feels like commerce. I’m trying to combine the picture and the xyno if we’re gonna look at the the picture is just a photographer’s prism, and it’s not it’s not gonna be a it’s not gonna be a photo that’s gonna be picking up. All the best pictures go through the movies first. I’m the one who’s making sense with the picture. I’m trying to create a story. I mean, I mean, any series is kind of like a «nbsp,» and it’s done.
«I’m trying to combine the picture and the movie if we look at the picture through the lens of just the photographer and not the operators, it’s not the one that’s gonna pick up.»
— U you have a favorite commercial project in which you have been able to reveal as an artist, connect and kino, and photo? — You must have seen the latest works. There was a girl there, one of the best projects I’ve ever done. First, the national ornaments themselves. The whole image you’ve seen, we’ve been picking with the owner. She gave her complete freedom. I’m gonna say: <i<i>i>I want a picture like this.», on telephony shows y I’m a mini-presentation. They say, <laquo; yes, let’s do». We’ve done a great job, we’ve done a lot of filming, we’ve done a lot of video, we’ve made a lot of movies. A very positive fidback was received from the customer. The project is also a very cool one in a media plan from my followers in the same number. Plus, we’ve been doing this work at the phototo «Vogue& racuo;.
What principles are you going to adapt one culture to another? Here was the picture from Kazakhstan, you y inspired — wondering how you’re adapting it to Kalmysky film, and to also with Wong Karavan. It’s an Asian director, but you’re gonna adapt to your culture somehow. Maybe you’ve already developed some principles of adaptation? Maybe y we are 30-40% different, but in the principle of culture is similar. I’ve been watching, I’m very inspired by Kazakhstan, exactly as a country from a cultural point of view. Separately — Mongolia. These are two countries that have 'nbsp; me in 'nbsp; priority if we 'nbsp; prepare national shots. It’s a little hard to adapt if we’re gonna talk about Kalmikia because we’re very few in quality manufacturing. The, uh, nbsp; the scavengers too. I don’t want to put a gun on my face, but we’re gonna put a foot on it. Local brands are now trying to make them. These elements are very difficult to find, precisely for them to be Kalmutsky.
In principle, I’m just taking the picture, and I’m thinking what the elements were looking good for. U me in the head is just coming together the whole composition. It’s the only thing that’s complicated. It’s the only thing that’s gonna happen. U we find it very difficult to find quality national clothes. For example, y ih also Kazakhs or y kyrgyz is their brands, y they are very developed. And continues to develop, by the way, much faster than the y us. A so — everything depends on the well-chosen team. We’re gonna do any shots here in Kalmaki. General — well-chosen team and models.
«We can do any filming here in Kalmakia. The key is a well-chosen team and models.»
— There is a or is there any reception other than ornaments recognized by cultural signs so that a person can look at photo and said: < <i<it is not it’s a Kazakh photograph, a Kalmac»? — We can use color gamma. U we’re a color gamma closer to the Tibetan tradition. For example, it’s colder than Kazakhstan. In Kalmikia, it is closer to Buddhists are directed. If you combine the colors of Buddhists, the red, orange, these colors are warmer. And we’re hot, and we’re hot, and we’re hot, and it’s me.
You’re 25 you’re a young photographer. Tell me what your plans are, maybe your goals are, where you want to go as a photographer? Let me explain why. I follow very closely the Elle» — this is one of the nbsp; main sources of inspiration. And now all the interesting move in the central Asia, and Kazakhstan is one of the leaders in the this industry. Why Mongolia? 'Cause first of all, ethnically — this is ours, my homeland. I’m just gonna go there, and I’m gonna go there, and in Kazakhstan can do good work. Plus, I like a few photographers from there with, uh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Plus a lot of great bloggers and photographers. I’ve also gone to almata.
«I’ve got all the interesting moves in Central Asia right now.»
You want to tell more people about Kalmikia, so that more people can learn about this place? While I’m here. There are a few brands that are willing to implement my ideas, pay me enough good money for the Republic, let’s just say. I’m gonna want to run some photo projects that will be equal to Kazakh < Elle». I’m trying to develop it because we’re very few photographers who combine commerce, and ethnic style. I’m trying to combine it. So that my style is ethnic, very beautiful and very funny, well paid, and and so that there’s a good backup of ours, let’s say. After the filming, a lot of jewelry is ordered from Moscow and America. We’re trying to popularize as much as we can, and we’re trying to do something unusual. There are plans to bring Kalmikia very famous brands.— <lakuo; J.Kim» e.g. It’s a really cool brand, and I’m gonna bring him in here, make some cap.
Kazakhstan — this is now some Mekong after all the events that were in 2022 the year. Most of the creative people went there. And now I’m see why it’s brought. Kazakhstan is slowly leveling out. It’s going to be much ahead of you in the 'nbsp; cross-sectional content in the 'nbsp; central Asia. It could even be with Russia is reaching for that’s the plan.
«We’re trying to popularize as we can, and we’re trying to do things that aren’t typical.»
#b> — You’re not you see yourself working with non-Asian aesthetics? — I’m very attracted to Asian culture, absolutely. Starting with Central Asia and ending with the peoples of China. There are some Russian brands. Maybe you’re the 'nbsp; their 'nbsp; you know, they’re doing those cats. Here’s with the 'nbsp; name I’d be working, but 'nbsp; I’m more attracted to 'nbsp; Asia, for some reason, might be pure because of some kind of cultural bandage. Perhaps I would like to see, for example, that also Kazakhstan or that also Kyrgyzstan, how they promote their culture and how they reborn it. I’d still be working with some Arab brands. Of the 'nbsp; Saudi Arabia has a couple of 'nbsp; Turcia or 'nbsp; Morocco. I’m more drawn to it.
Which of the brands would you like to work with? I’m gonna say something like <laquo; Diora& racuo; I so I can adapt them to Asia calmly. I’ve been working on 'nbsp; they’re more oriented to 'nbsp; 'Ushatava», according to 'nbsp; their 'nbsp; they’re more oriented towards ' Asia. The last cape they made in Japan, is what is this? If out of the 'nbsp; like world-world brands, the only place I’d want to get to is a photo agency called «Magnum». It’s as hard to get there as possible. We need to meet someone. There is a photographer of Soviet-Russian origin — Pinhassov Georgius. He’s the only Russian who got there. Maybe I’ll be second.
— We watched your TV channel, y you have a lot of photos that are far from portable. You’ve been taking pictures of the architecture. Honestly, in these regions, in our Russian provinces, especially in the national republics, few people are just taking pictures of the city beautifully. All photographers in provincial cities in most of them work either for the budget sector or for the weddings. I’m trying to make beautiful pictures. And on at least as long as I can do it in Kalmakia. Take a beautiful picture of Moscow easily, go out to the street yes take a picture, you you’ll get good pictures in Moscow, in Pitere. Plus-minus, that’s exactly how it is. And so is Krasnodar. A here to take good pictures, beautiful pictures, specifically Wibovo, in the city, with a hundred thousand people, that’s something to think about. What you’re going to see in the telegram, I’ve left it for myself.
— We saw that you had a shot of the smartphone technique. I wonder how you connected the hardware store to the cultural context. Did you come up with the concept of this film for a long time? — Well, not at all. I’ve been on the huhnbsp; the location, and the huh nbsp; uh nbsp; I’ve always been in the huhnbsp; the head is an example if I’m asked to do a national theme. U I already have thoughts, in the main thing about girls is always because in my work focuses on the girl. These images are always there. For example, my Instagram — is just a gallery. The works are from different artists, photographic artists, and videoographers. It’s about everything that’s connected to 'nbsp; Asia.
