From high-altitude lakes and jagged peaks to dramatic weather and coastal cliffs, the Caucasus region gives Lavrushkin plenty to work with. He's not partial to color or black and white, switching between them based on conditions or mood. Film handles the dramatic light and unpredictable elements well in terrain like this. Landscapes like these do most of the heavy lifting.
