Photography can convey powerful emotions through simple imagery, especially when the photographer is telling a story or trying to exorcise some of their personal demons through the lens.
Sometimes these emotionally charged images can come off a bit hoaky, other times they’re just too darn depressing to look at for long, but the photographic works of Ilya Kisaradov, aka DeviantARTist ezorenier, are just the right mix of dark and downright interesting.
Ilya's pics definitely have a story to tell, whether it’s about the man playing the burning piano or the woman trapped in her own personal birdcage, but these strange images defy simple explanation, leaving interpretation up to the viewer.
