It was not the easiest mission to accomplish when taking photos of such individuals. Some of them were more pliable, whereas the others seemed hard to reach an agreement. Although that is not the point. You see, these people are surrounding us every day we walk the streets, and we never actually even notice them or we are just automatically disgusted by them. I always try to show real things in work I produce. The reality is not always satisfying but at the end of the day, it is what it is and it is up to you whether you would like to accept this reality or change it. I tried to catch the real moments of life through a camera lens, therefore none of their emotions are fake. The black and white regime here gives me an opportunity to shoot urban photography of today in s mood of USSR 90s. Their living, their clothes and the situation around is giving a vibe of its aesthetic past. Those are the inhabitants of where I come from. Meet them and greet them. Shot on Canon 800D with 55-200mm lens.
