Moscow Street and Architecture Photography

Moscow in the past 10 years has blossomed into one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and is currently ranked the fourth best Capital in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, only surpassed by London, Paris and Berlin. With her beautiful streets, squares, parks and cityscapes, and exquisitely decorated Metro stations, Moscow surprises with her dramatic contrasts of historic and modern architectural styles to give endless opportunities to capture breathtaking photographs in any season and at any time of day.

Your Moscow photo tour can be tailored to any interests and preferences, exploring both the iconic and lesser known secrets of my magnificent city by private car (Honda CR-V) or via the Moscow Metro system, depending on traffic or convenience. Tours can easily be adjusted on the spot to allow for weather conditions or other circumstances, and typically last for 8 hours (full day) or 3-4 hours (half day).

To experience the beauty of historical Russian architecture, I highly recommend visiting the famous Moscow Kremlin, Red Square, and St. Basil’s Cathedral. From the new Zaryadye Park you will capture beautiful cityscapes, and from Sparrow Hill or the embankments of the Moskova River and various bridges around the Capital you will experience the beautiful panoramas of the Moscow Kremlin and the breathtaking Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. Visiting the Novodevichy Convent, the Triumphal Gate and Victory Park on Poklonnaya Hill, the skyline of the new financial district Moskva-city, the White house, Bolshoy Theater and former KGB buildings, Tverskaya and Old Arbat streets to name just a few will make your photo tour of Moscow unique, original and unforgettable.

If you are unfamiliar or inexperienced at night photography, during this personalised private three-four hour tour, I can teach you the fundamentals for capturing beautiful night time images by mastering some of the more challenging elements of photography. As it’s not often practical to carry a lot of photographic equipment when you are travelling, I can even loan you a tripod if necessary.
