RE: Photographing Georgia's Former Soviet Union Industrial Zones From Above

Yeah! I'm really curious about the interiors. I have no doubts they've been untouched for decades. The windows aren't smashed, there's nothing that looks as if it's been neglected and vandalised. It must have a lot of cool stuff inside.

The outside is something out of a zombie outbreak for sure. All overgrown and rustic.

Well, sounds like a perfect location for a movie to me! :)

Actually, it's funny you mention it. I just remembered that recently I was seeing a large uptick in film productions around the city in relatively old locations like factories. I'd see them setting up the lighting outside, all the vans parked up with gear. I was quite tempted to go and ask about it all. :^)

You are in the movie business, so I think you should definitely feel free to do so! By the way, are you just traveling the area, or have you moved permanently? Seem to remember that you are from the UK originally or something like that, but I might be wrong!

Yeah I'm from the UK. Last year I went to Istanbul for two weeks, I initially was meant to go home after that but instead went to Armenia, and then spent 8 months there. I took the train from there to Tbilisi so now I'm in Georgia and have been here for four months or so.

I haven't permanently moved, I do plan on going back to England at some point but probably not for a long time. I have been doing my own thing instead of what I used to do back in the film industry in England. Picking up photography work here and there while also shooting stock footage with my drone. Pretty fun!

Thank you for the answer! Wish you all the best and good luck no matter what you do and where in the world you do it! :)
