Azerbaijan is a country of differences, from its arid plains and windswept beaches to the mud volcanoes that belch fire. Photographer Thomas Marsden captures this diversity, as well as the one thing that connects it all: the Lada automobile.
In his projectphotographer Thomas Marsden takes the viewer on a photographic road trip through the ever-changing landscapes of Azerbaijan. He was also drawn to one of the region's most iconic cars: the Lada.
Marsden acknowledges that like many Western tourists who visit the region, he found the cars intriguing."Coming from the West, they symbolize a different kind of ideology," he said."It has the whole Soviet historical influence, which, in the West, was a whole different world that we didn't have contact with, so it's kind of a curiosity to see them everywhere."
