I currently live in Moscow. It’s a huge metropolis. Living here you get used to people, speed, vanity, the subway… Do you know that the subway is a whole individual city of people inside Moscow? And when you come to any village in the north of Russia, like Kenozero, you meet the silence. There, you meet amazing people, you are surrounded by the beauty of nature, and you just shoot the first picture and that’s it. You see to it that you will come back there again and again. You listen to these people, their stories, their dreams and you need nothing else. For me, it just happened that way.
