Taking the train is a standard commuting platform in Russia and it offered a glimpse into the lives and minds of ordinary people, something I love finding when travelling. After a week in the country I boarded the Transiberian to head from Moscow to Irkutsk and what follows are some moments my lens capture. This is part two of a blog series I’ve started on photographs from the Transiberian trip.
Before I went on a trip of a lifetime on the Transiberian railway in July 2019, I explored two of Russia’s most known cities; Moscow and St Petersburg. Many of you have been asking for more photos of the trip so I decided to do a blog photo series. The pictures are hundreds and the human time concentration span is short (ahem, you know it’s true, mine is too) so I’m splitting them up into four separate blog posts. Following the chronicle of the journey, this first blog post will concentrate on the trip’s first two stops.
