Slide 22:Philip Pankov Born near the Black Sea, Philip was developing and printing his own black and white photographs by the time his family moved to Moscow when he was fourteen. In 1996 Philip first came to Ireland and has lived in Dublin ever since. Having become enamoured with Ireland's physical landscapes, Philip was inspired to depict modern Ireland in black & white photographs. Recently Philip was awarded the prestigious Licentiate Distinction from the Irish Photographic Federation for his panel of black and white landscape photographs. More recently Pankov's black and white prints has gained increasing popularity worldwide and is now held in private and corporate art collections throughout Europe, North America and Japan.Traditional black and white darkroom printing is almost a lost art these days. Despite the undeniable appeal of real photographic black and white prints there are few photographers who continue to master both the art of taking beautiful photographs and the craft of printing their work very well.
