Life
Ignatowitsch worked as a newspaper journalist for Severo-Donezki communist Krasnaya Svesda (Red Star) and Karsnaya Bashkirija until 1921 , before he started taking photos in 1923. He moved to Moscow, then to Leningrad and worked in the 1920s a. a. for Prawda , Komsomolskaja Prawda , Trud and Bednota , from 1927 exclusively as a picture editor and photo editor. He became a student of Alexander Rodchenko . From 1930 he also made documentaries; in the 1930s he headed the illustrated section of the Vechernaya Moskva magazine (Moscow in the evening). 1937-41 he worked for the magazine Stroitelstwo Moskwy (Construction of Moscow).
His report on the Ramenskoye district near Moscow on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the October Revolution received international attention . Some of his photographs, for example “Ermitage” (1931) or “Shower” (1935), are now considered icons of the Russian avant-garde. His war photographs, however, have remained largely unknown. Boris Ignatowitsch experienced the German-Soviet War mainly on the Kalinin Front, as a photo correspondent for the army newspaper “Kampfbanner” of the 30th Army.
His sister Olga and his sister-in-law Elisabeth were also photo reporters.
