Cheryomushki — Nikolay Bakharev photobook
Cheryomushki is a photobook by Nikolay Bakharev, published by Stanley/Barker in May 2025. It brings together portraits made at river and lake beaches near Novokuznetsk, where workers and families gathered to rest. These sites were among the few public spaces in the USSR where limited nudity was tolerated.
Bakharev’s approach is direct and cooperative. He worked with his sitters in close proximity, aiming for mutual trust rather than observation. The result is a restrained record of everyday intimacy: families, couples, and friends, photographed without staging.
The book is produced as a hardback with a tipped-on cover image. Cheryomushki contains 120 pages and measures 240 × 270 mm. Text is in English. ISBN: 9781913288822.
