Stas Belyaev & Teona Dolnikova 'Close Your Eyes' by Alexander Soloviev

Lassamie Prasimay - 23rd Apr 2019

In the spectacular setting of frozen Lake Baikal in Russia, Alexander Soloviev captures a magnificient tale of two lovers through the blindfolded art of ice skating. 

The cold white tones of the breathtaking glacial landscapes give depth to the passionate rendition by the singers Stas Belyaev and Teona Dolnikova, who feature as the protagonists in the video, alongside the ice skaters.

ALEXANDER SOLOVIEV:

”We shot this music video on the frozen lake Baikal in Russia. Why did we go there? The budget was tiny and we had a chance to rent some lighting equipment in Moscow or to go somewhere having nothing. Of course we chose to travel to Baikal and capture this extraordinary place in a very unique state when the lake is frozen and you are literally standing on 1 meter of ice and there is a kilometer of water under you. Amazing feeling which is hard to describe.

“The weather was changing every 5 minutes, directing us to what has to be shot. It was a lot of of fun just to allow the nature lead you and we are very thankful to everything what we had experienced there. The song is in Russian, it is about love, passion, freedom. I hope that the language barrier will not affect the viewing.”
