Irina Popova

[4] In 2008, on a student photography assignment, she moved in for two weeks with a young family in a tiny apartment in St Petersburg.

[3][5][6] "Friends moved freely in and out of the space, music was played, people partied with alcohol and drugs"—all with a young child present.

However, when Popova published some of the photographs online, hundreds of commentators were upset by the way they perceived the couple to be treating their child.

"[3] According to Blake Morrison, writing in The Guardian: The story of the photos raises a number of fascinating issues: about exploitation, voyeurism and embedded reportage; about the moral responsibility of a photographer or any artist who deals in non-fiction; about the differences between images seen in a gallery and images posted online; and about the meaning of informed consent.

[7] The Incomplete Princess Book (2016) is "a compilation of 8000 images of other Irina Popovas registered on the social network Vkontakte".
