On my way from Veliky Ustyug to Vologda, driving along the Sukhonsky highway, I decided to stop somewhere I hadn't been before. An interesting name is Kochenga on the map, perhaps there is a large village

After visiting Veliky Ustyug, I had to definitely stop by the river...But which one? They are all dear to me! If anything, there are already three rivers in Ustyug: Sukhona + Yug =The Northern Dvina. I

As long as this strange year lasts, I will continue to talk about how strange it is! With my new job, it seemed to me that my saturation with events and photos would decrease, but it only intensified.

Vologda used to be actually wooden, judging by old historical photographs. Now the wooden houses, which are beautiful, carved and representing cultural heritage, remain only in the center. There are also

Lately I have a desire to photograph the soulful response from spaces and feelings. It is very difficult to convey it in a photo so that it still has some effect on others. I used to do this, but only

A new underexplored graphic theme is the graphic of reflections on water taken with a long exposure. There are many different subjects to explore with water! The interesting part is the long exposure time,

...For the last time before landscaping! Now the Kremlin Garden is closed for repairs, and soon everything will be different there. These are historical images...This is the last time you see him. It's

I repeat some information periodically. Sometimes it happens from different angles of perception, and it happens that I'm just refreshing the basics or rules of photography for myself and others. In black

This is the first time I've filmed rapeseed blossoms, although I've been waiting for the right moment for several years in a row, but I've never been able to capture it. There aren't even any single pictures

One of the first things I started photographing when I even picked up a camera was dandelions in a field. I have similar scenes in old film photographs...only without height differences. For me, there

Lilac blossoms are usually the final stage of all tree and shrub blooms. Blossoming of an acacia tree passed by, but in general, all the blooms this year were unsuccessful due to the weather conditions.

Five years ago, I was afraid to shoot evening and night street...not because of the people, but because of the poor quality of the photos. Now I can do it more boldly than ever thanks to the low noise

For the second or even the third year in a row, I want to capture as many specific color combinations as possible: dark blue with rich green. Ideally, it should be a flowering bird cherry or wildflowers.

I've already told you about the blooms this year. Let me briefly remind you that they left quickly due to the sudden heat, and then all the petals were blown away by strong winds. Plus, there was no obvious

Every time in the same places, I manage to take pictures in a new, fresh and unusual way. That's good, it means the brain is still working...or the perception is being updated. There are such moments,

I won't say that I've discovered a new kind of metaphysical photography, but the method is quite interesting. There are situational cards (not tarot cards) where you pull out a card and it shows a scene,

I started showing very few reportage photos. I used to do this once a season, but now it's nothing at all... This event has already become a tradition for me to photograph – I've been shooting Museum Night

When I come to Veliky Ustyug, where I have lived for more than thirty years, I always want to remember something from the past. This is where I was born, lived, and started photographing. If I could give

And here is a new place of power! The images of this village are still in my head. And, remarkably, this place is again on the Kubena River near the village of Ustye! I've always looked at Chirkovo from

Alexandrovo Place is a village in the Ust-Kubinsky district of the Vologda region. The distance to the regional center (Ustye village) is 17 km. There are very few permanent residents, according to the
