Russian brothers go viral with swamp photoshoot

5 August 2016

Brothers Igor and Alex Nazarov, aged 16 and 21 from the Chelyabinsk region of Russia, have become an internet sensation with an unusual swamp photoshoot.

Igor and Alex took the pictures in their attempt to win a photo competition. The photos are supposed to represent working life and the dull office routine — deep, in more ways than one.

Originally published on Russian social media site VKontakte, the pictures were shared to the public page “How I Met tetanus”, after which they went viral.

“You can do anything to win a weird photo competition. Me and my brother went crazy and made a little photo project in the style of the ‘office routine’,” read the caption for the series.
