Heads of State (Archive 2006-2016)
"The majority of these pictures, are the coverage of official events with top officials, important moments of these events, such as handshakes, walking red carpet, a wreath laying and other formal ceremonies. I’ve taken most of these pictures while working at the State Telegraph Agency of Azerbaijan. Despite the fact that the work of a photographer in the former TASS Photo Chronicle is regulated by strict restrictions on how to shoot, I found it too boring, and introduced new methods and innovations. As a result, these pictures were published by the world's leading media, having their own requirements that were very different from the archival rules of the State Telegraph Agency".
