В 1980 году в Беларуси я делал заказную работу для колхоза "Красное знаменя". Я должен был сфотографировать передовиков колхоза для доски почета. Для этого я взял широкопленочный фотоаппарат «Москва» с негативом 6х9см. и фотографировал передовиков во весь рост, и потом при печати кадрировал поясной портрет, т.к. по условиям я должен представить типовой портрет. Съемки было сделано в полевых условиях. Для фона мы применили мешковину, что было под рукой.
In 1980 in Belarus I did a series of photos of leaders from collective farm "Red banner" for an honor board. The shooting was done in field conditions and I mostly depended on formatting the picture later. Later in 1992 for an exhibition in Litza in Holland this series was printed full size. Serious people in their smart clothes, some with an award for labor merits, were photographed for the honor board either near their house or at the work place.

"Vladimir Shakhlevich emphasises that working on the project defined his attitude to the catastrophe, both as a personal threat and a global one for mankind. His outlook led him to use photocollage techniques which permit him to depict the destruction and development of our civilization, which is hard to imagine. Contorted biblical allusions and icon-like insinuations appear, forming from snatches of day-to-day life. They can be perceived as a forewarning, a recollection, or a call to come to our senses. It is as if his rectangular icons are asking whether humanity has strayed off the path of righteousness, the path of God, by splitting the atom. As he works in the laboratory, he sees himself as a surgeon making incisions into the living flesh of photography. The resulting substance is a new reality surrounded by an energy field, which begins to exist apart from the artist."

Серыя Уладзіміра Шахлевіча (нар. 1954) "Акт з партрэтам" падаецца адной з найбольш удалых у яго творчасьці. Мастак дасьціпна гуляе формай, балансуючы паміж прамалінейным аповядам і амаль падсьвядомай эратычнай асацыяцыяй. Міміка твару -- "міміка" цела, жэст рукі -- "жэст" пераплеценых паверхняў, узаемадзейных фактур -- гэта толькі некалькі правілаў захапляючай гульні. Колер тут прымітыўны і "фізіялагічны". І гэты факт толькі абвастрае парадаксальна-гульнявую сутнасьць гэтай серыі, вабячы гледача скрытым кантрастам непасрэднасьці і інтэлекту, вытанчанай эротыкі і грубай фізіялогіі, праўды і вымыслу.
