Moscow Metro | Tomer Ifrah | Moscow (RUS) | By Lee Fleming

While travelling on our research trips the IDMC° team are regularly utilise a cities transport system and are always intrigued how each differ. Hence our attraction to Tomer Ifrah's documentary photography of the Moscow metro. Irsael-born Ifrah began photographing documentary stories in 2007, after his first trip to Ethiopia and has continued to focus on documentary photography and addressing social issues and daily life stories. Taken between 2012 and 2014, Ifrah made several trips to Russia documenting Moscow’s metro stations which features stunning lighting, Moscow's style of dress and post-Soviet symbols everywhere. It's an original perspective of daily life in Moscow that we haven't been fortunate enough to see for ourselves, yet.

The North Face x FOTT | Urban Camping | Moscow (RUS) | By Lee Fleming

After 30 years, American outdoor apparel company The North Face present a commemorative collection dedicated to an infamous model, the Mountain Jacket. Introduced in 1985, the Mountain Jacket was specifically designed for use in the mountains; subsequent models were constantly upgraded and adapted to a particular type of extreme activity.

Today, this synonymous coat is as prominent in a city’s urban surroundings as it is at a mountains peak, to highlight its functionality; The North Face collaborated with Russian retailer FOTT to create a short film featuring Moscow-based photographer Ilya Klishin. Nomad-minded Klishin is the symbiosis of man and nature as he explores Moscow’s brutalist architecture, scenic spots and Northern Cheratnovo Bittsevsky forest park.
