Waiting

Young Russian couples, inhabitants of Saint-Petersburg and Moscow, are sleeping in their bedrooms early in the morning, the time when people don’t really care about their appearance, being natural. They are preparing to become parents in few months, and the project investigates not only their attitude to each other during the period of expecting a baby, but also the way young families live in big cities of modern Russia, 20 years after the fall of the Soviet Union, the country that will be known to their children only from history books. Jana Romanova has been photographing this project for almost 6 years, in November 2015 it was published in edition of 500 copies thanks to all people who took part in the crowd funding campaign.
Selected as one of the Best Books of 2015 by Martin Parr.
