City of Shadows - Alexey Titarenko

City of Shadows was a project by Alexey Titarenko in the early 90's. He used long exposures to photograph the change in people when the Soviet Union collapsed. Whilst long exposures were a common theme, especially with photography students, he managed to capture the despair growing at the time. My recent attempt to recreate couldn't capture the mood or the environment of his work, but still worth a try.
