Miners By Sasha
1930: Using his newly developed Sashalight, photographer Sasha has taken this picture of coal miners in the emergency cage. The Sashalight is a new type of flash which is ignited by an ordinary battery, and so is safe to use in a mine, unlike previous flashes which used highly explosive flash powder.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Sasha from 1930, we are transported to the depths of a coal mine where brave miners carry out their perilous work. Using his newly developed Sashalight, Sasha captures an extraordinary moment inside the emergency cage. The Sashalight revolutionizes photography in mining as it is ignited by a simple battery, eliminating the risk posed by highly explosive flash powder used in previous flashes. The composition of the image is strikingly beautiful; its landscape format allows us to fully appreciate the harsh conditions these men face daily. Bathed in dim light emitted from their trusty miners' lamps, each miner's face tells a story of resilience and determination. The interplay between light and shadows adds depth to the scene, emphasizing both the physical challenges and camaraderie shared among these workers. This photograph not only showcases Sasha's technical innovation but also sheds light on an essential industry that often operates unseen beneath our feet. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who toil underground to fuel progress above ground. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, let us acknowledge and honor these unsung heroes whose roles and occupations shape our modern world. Through Sasha's lens, we gain insight into Europe's mining industry during this era while appreciating his skillful storytelling through photography.
