Amazing & Brilliant Conceptual Photographers Ilya & Ben




We have chosen two brilliant conceptual photographers Ilya Kisaradov and Ben Zank. Sometimes these emotionally charged images can be a bit disturbing, other times they are simply too depressing to look at for a long time, but Ilya Kisaradov’s photographic works are the perfect blend of insolation and vulnerability. Ilya’s surrealistic photographs definitely have a story to tell, either about the man who plays the burning piano or the woman trapped in his own personal cage, but these strange images challenge a simple explanation, leaving interpretation to the viewer. Ben Zank is not an average photographer, he does not take pictures of the special occasions of others and he does not wait in the woods for a big picture of an innocent animal, no, his work is much more special than that.

Ben graduated in journalism, but while he was in college, he realized that writing and reporting were not interesting for him, however, the picture impacted him, so he decided to do it his way. Most of his photos put him in almost incredible situations, sometimes impossible, he will do anything to take the perfect photo: He used yellow tape to imitate the lines of the road. He shoveled the snow for an hour to create this fantastic contrast.

Conceptual photography is when the photographer tries to convey a message or a “concept”, and in general, this message is transmitted through a theoretical symbolism that can be interpreted by the viewer. Even though most photographers have a specific meaning they are trying to convey, the image that can be interpreted in many different ways.
