What a country!
I’m talking about Russia, folks, in case you were wondering. It’s a really interesting country and it’s always great to get an insider’s view of anywhere.
And you’re about to go on a journey to that interesting nation via the photographs of a man named Aleksandr Petrosyan.
Petrosyan lives in Saint Petersburg and he takes all kinds of photos of people going about their everyday lives in Russia. The results capture a fascinating culture and one that many Westerners are not exposed to at all.
So let’s take a look at Petrosyan’s work. We think you’ll enjoy it!

He is very good with the camera, I must say.

I like the angle of this shot.

A very mysterious place…

They look like they’ve seen it all.

Pretty intimidating…
