Arvo Iho is an Estonian film director, cinematographer, actor and photographer, who has worked in the areas of documentary and drama.
It’s not really photographers whom I admire, but the incredibly accomplished Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky. It seems to me that he was a director who created his own cinematic devices, rather than rely on the cinematic devices shared by most 20th century works. That’s why his work never seems to grow old.
