Lyudmila And Natasha

For his new collection of photographs, Lyudmila and Natasha, award-winning photographer Misha Friedman trains his lens on a gay couple living on Saint Petersburg, offering a series of intimate snapshots of their relationship as it unfolds over the course of a year. Faced with a hostile political climate, financial difficulties and often unstable living arrangements, the subjects of this stunning book reveal the possibilities for love in the most uncertain of times. This book powerfully evokes both a vital place and the people who call it home.
