I first came to Moscow in the mildest of winter 2012.
After my first or second visit to the Moscow Metro I decided to document it through a photo-essay I published online. There is an unbelievable pace in the Metro; about 7 million people passing through every day. During rush hour you can go through thousands of people in a few minutes. I was amazed by the beauty of the stations, sometimes, along with the style of dress of the people it reminded me old classic images, but it was also young people who had just returned from shopping in one of the expensive brands. The diversity and the contrast between the people in Metro is something that is very difficult to find anywhere else in this city.
