I checked the Ustye on the satellite map almost as soon as I started photographing the dugouts. But I've been planning to come here for a very long time, probably almost two years. And all because I had

After any walks, some shreds of memories, consisting of bright moments, settle in our memory. We don't remember the entire chronology in detail, but it can be reconstructed at some key points. For me,

In Kadnikov, I tried to find dugouts one winter, and also photographed night yards at the very end of this long-term project. This time I was attracted by the fog. Actually, I drove past this city to capture

Now let's talk about the actual! This is the case when it is possible to deviate from the usual chronological sequence of publication of photographic materials. On September 29-30, there was a prolonged

Last year, I couldn't capture the aurora here: I arrived at a very nice place, and the sky was overcast. I've been very lucky this year! As soon as I took a point to shoot, bright flashes immediately appeared.

It has always been interesting for me to analyze my creative path. I like to take pictures without thinking about anything, just to create, to create a picture-a response to reality. But it's all in the

It is rare to capture a beautiful sunset in a specific location. I've seen a lot of beautiful skies, but it's not always possible to be in the right place at the right time. I was attracted by the unusual

Yes and no! I'll show the moonrise and tell you about something else. The post will be short on pictures and more of a story-a complaint about my equipment. More specifically, about the cameras I use.

There was a bright Aurora borealis in early September. Yes, there have already been a lot of them these days, but moderate ones. I was lucky with that, too. According to forecasts, nothing special was

I've been working in news photography for over a decade now, and it wasn't until a couple of years ago, maybe even less, that I started shooting not only for work, but also for myself in a news way. I

It's been a long time since I've been in a real forest... But I grew up in the middle of the deep forests! I've seen so many different varieties: spruce, whitemoss forests, mixed, deciduous, swampy. The

I heard a phrase somewhere on social media that fog is on trend this year... apparently, I match the fashion. Although it is strange that a natural phenomenon can interest a large audience in some way

It's been a strange year...it's the other way around, compared to the previous ones. Sometimes I want summer, sometimes I don't. One minute I'm waiting for autumn, the next, I'm afraid of its arrival.

One of the long-term unrealized ideas was to take pictures of trains and railways during the fog, since you can run wild in Vologda on this topic! But one of the best locations for filming fell off immediately

The Fox Mountains are a natural and historical monument. It is located near the town of Kadnikov in the Sokolsky district of the Vologda region. From the outside, it looks like a quarry, which I've always

While I was thinking about disconnecting from reportage, I had a sudden short-term burnout: I was tired of everything, I didn't want to photograph anything! It happens a couple of times a year. I can't

I realized one unpleasant thing here: the wave of reporting that has engulfed me in the last couple of years is gradually depriving me of the present... Reportage is self–serving and egotistical, no matter

I have always been attracted to the deserted city at night and, in particular, the colored glowing store signs, as well as the reflexes from them. After moving to a larger city, a new world opened up for

I don't know what world it's from...most likely, I was disconnected from the big reportage wave for a while, since there are no such graphics there. This is something from the frequency of courtyard spaces,

Fogs always fascinate not only photographers and artists, but also ordinary people who have nothing to do with creativity. Any layman will take a picture of a foggy view on his phone, if there is one.
