This was the fifth trip to the capital in 2024. All the visits to Moscow were solely for work, but only one of them was on vacation: I went to a rock band concert.
This time I visited Moscow to photograph a press conference during the summing up of the year with the President.
The walk was in places that I already know well.
I shot Christmas decorations on Red Square and in Zaryadye Park back in January 2020.
Little has changed since then.
Everything is also glowing, everything is beautiful and festive.
It's probably a good thing that everything has remained as before.
I don't even know what else can be done better here – in my opinion, it doesn't need to be changed every year.
After all, the bar is so high that there is nothing to improve.
But if five years ago I was shooting only landscapes, now my own standard has grown.
There have been changes in my mind and in my photographic experience.
That's where you need to change everything as often as possible and only for the better. And there is no limit to improvement here.
