Children's Portraits of the Russian Elite








German photographer Anna Skladmann has created a stunning portrait series featuring children of the new Russian elite.



"They live in a secluded world," says Skladmann, who spent years befriending and photographing the little ones. "Their parents are attempting to make up for the Soviet times--they only want the best for their children. They receive private language lessons; they go swimming or play tennis. The lives of these children are very planned and regimented."
