This monograph is the first major publication devoted to American (Russian-born) photographer Alexey Titarenko's 30-year long career. The book features his autobiographical novel City of Shadows, and more than 140 photographs comprising a poetic visual narrative focused on four cities: St. Petersburg, Venice, Havana and New York. Insightful essays about Titarenko’s work are contributed by Gabriel Bauret, photography historian, critic, and curator, Paris based; Brett Abbott, Curator of Photography, High Museum of Art, Atlanta; and Sean Corcoran, Curator of Prints and Photographs, Museum of the City of New York.

Born in Leningrad, Russia, in 1962, Titarenko has lived and worked in New York since 2008. In an autobiographical essay, he unfolds the formation of his artistic vision and his creation of a unique style. Famous for introducing long exposure and intentional camera movement into street photography, Titarenko created powerful metaphors to document the century’s historic changes. His haunting, ghostlike images have become icons of the era of the collapse of the Soviet state.
