Michael Magin has been one of my favourite photographers on Flickr (where he goes by the name of Greatestdancer) for a long time:

Michael Magin photographs transmit a sense of calmness; a paused moment full of fragility and the subjects withdrawn into themselves. Many years ago while searching for an artistic expression he discovered photography for himself and since then has sharpened his talent for portrait and artistic nude photography. We spoke to him about his beginnings, his working process and about his interest in the loneliness you can feel when capturing landscapes.
