We want to introduce to Anastasia Hexahedron, a photographer from Russia, Yaroslavl.

"I take photos about 5 years and shoot both on the digital and on the film. Digital is more for serious responsible projects but film for having fun.  In my projects, I usually don't aspire to document the world as it is, but I try to create a special, magical and mystical atmosphere, on the verge between reality and sleep. Sometimes life around us is not so bright and romantic, and not as memorable and impressive as dreams. For me, photography is a way to doubt the reality that exists by adding to it special mysterious features."

Anastasia brings Us this series called "The Place to Watch Sunsets"

Do you know the feeling when you show your dear person a very important place that you love with all your heart? Let us say, the lakes to go through the forest, not far from your home - the best place in the world for watching sunsets, surrounded by hills, which often become foggy at this time of year, and fields that change their cover from dense grass to colorful wild flowers from time to time.

This is a foretaste and desire to impress your friend, to share something very pleasant, but also excitement, because there is a chance that he will perceive this place completely different from you. For him, your memories are not connected with this place, he sees it with his new look, and you need to make him feel the same emotions, the same peace and tranquility that you feel when you come here.

And finally, satisfaction and happiness when you see joy in his eyes, because he really likes to be here. It’s beautiful in winter too, but summer makes this place so diverse that you want to explore every corner of it. You walk along the hills until dusk, and already in the dark you return home, breathing in the warm evening air. You will miss this summer and each other soon, because it’s not known when you meet next time.
