Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (in Russian: Сергей Михайлович Прокудин-Горский), (1863-1944), Russian photographer who pioneered color photography.
Main article about him is found at English wikipedia: Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii.
The existing collection of colour pictures by Prokudin-Gorskii consists of 1,902 photographs, bought from his family by the Library of Congress in 1948. The whole collection of unrestored pictures can be seen at www.prokudin-gorsky.ru, although most of them currently only exist as thumbnails, while some of the 122 that were restored by Library of Congress for its 2000 exhibition can be seen at The Empire That Was Russia.
It is estimated that Prokudin-Gorskii took over 3,500 triple negatives but there are currently only two more known pictures preserved, both of them of his daughter Helene and taken as late as 1934. Those two are still owned by his family.
