The Samolet

One of the largest developers in Russia came up with the task of shooting new residential complexes. This time it was the Sputnik residential complex that is still in construction. They asked to shoot the facades and the territory of the complex.

I decided to shoot closer to sunset to get warmer light and long contrasting shadows, as well as backlit sunlight. Most of the object at the time of shooting was a construction site, so it was necessary to choose plans with a focus on finished buildings, and so that the construction itself would not draw attention. On the ground, I used a Nikon full-frame camera with a 15−30mm wide-angle lens, and a normal 50 mm lens, while shooting from the air with a DJI drone. Most of the footage was shot in HDR and processed in Affinity Photo and Luminar.
