The first time in Mikhailov's career that he turned the camera on himself. He photographs himself, his wife Vita and a group of friends relaxing, playing and messing about on a trip to Crimea in 1982. The carefree happiness of the group is caught, and at the same time the series lets the social inequality of Soviet socialist reality show through it.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is a digital platform dedicated to independent photobooks, photography publications, design books, and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
