The goal of this article is to present relation between photography and Joseph Brodsky’s poetryon the example of the poem Мы жили в городе ...., which was translated into English by the poetand titled A Photograph.In the first part the author analyses the structure of the presented world in context of his stylizationon a photograph. While putting stress on Brodsky’s “photographic seeing” the author pays attentionto lighting, colors, geometry and fragmentary nature of the presented world.The results of bringing the meanings of the visual work of art upon the literary work are examinedin the second part of the article. The author points on such qualities of a photo-text as: disruptionof the temporal-spatial structure of the presented world which is a consequence of a priori elegiacnature of photography; questioning the fictional character of the poem and introducing metonymicmeanings on the place of metaphorical ones (as a result of the documentary character of photography);bringing in, implied by photography, notions associated with passing, death and immortality
