The stunning cityscape and architecture of St Petersburg is any photographer's dream. Yet Photographer Alexander Petrosyan prefers to capture a different layer of this magnificent city. His collection opens a window to the reality and peculiarity of what one wouldn't typically expect to see in the streets of Russia. "Perception depends on many different factors," he says. "But if the picture is taken with a certain energy, the viewer will feel it, regardless of geography and culture."
