Karelin’s house was turned into a shooting scene, therefore, many works can attract one’ attention due to lots of everyday life’s details of that time. “Room groups” plots were simple and ordinary: it usually included family conversations and bunfights, processes of reading books and doing some crafts. All of the photographs had poetic and charming atmospheres.
One of Karelin’s coevals recalled those scenes: ‘It all looks so simple; all wisdom is in simplicity’.
Karelin often used daylight as a necessary shooting condition.
‘We do remember how astonished foreign, especially British media were when they first saw those bright and powerful photographs with the combination of light and shadow so weird for those days’, – Sreznevskiy wrote.
It’s not a coincidence that Saint-Petersburg’s architects accepted Karelin’s works as a basis for sculptures.
