Photography fascinated him since his childhood. Spent his first photo-experiments in his college years. Shot on film camera FED-3. He was inspired by the work of Helmut Newton.
In 2004, it became possible to photograph with a digital camera, thus avoiding time-consuming processes of film development, printing. He started to experiment with images in the computer, watched as a digital camera reacts to the day, the artificial light. Perfecting retouching digital photos, selecting for themselves rather laborious method of treatment, which got a working title of “drawing with light.” This method of treatment has allowed him to get high-quality images that retain their original naturalness.
Gradually the picture began to take on new meaning for me. At the beginning of his journey he was interested in form, line, silhouette, then literature, drama and psychology. For Anatoliy Toor, photography took place when there is a sense of life, when you see and feel the space and time in the photos – that was before and what happened after that, when the picture tells the story.
