“I like this project. I often walk around Neglinnaya, its environs and each time I open them for myself in a new way. The same places, seemingly thousands of times familiar, look different, it is worth looking at them in a new light or in different lighting conditions, when chiaroscuro can play in a completely different way. The street itself is rapidly changing. Buildings are being restored, squares are being decorated, a lot of events are happening and all this is in one place. Neglinnaya is a very dynamic street, but at the same time, largely preserving its historical uniqueness. These cannot but fall in love with themselves. Especially photographers, ”Pavel himself admitted in an interview.
