Now that Christmas is over and things are getting back to normal, it’s nice to look back and reflect on this year’s festive season.

So I have just turned 18, and that was considered a major life milestone in Russia. I can’t recall who’s idea that was, but I found myself in a photography studio by the nearest metro station to our home. The studio was really dark and gloomy, and as I entered it, I already started to …

Here are some “before and after” shots – there was nothing left to drink at the end of the day! Nonetheless it was a brilliant day …
