About

The photographer turns to one of the most poetic districts of St. Petersburg to present it as a living, breathing organism. The series of shots forms a calm visual narrative about the city on the water, where familiar courtyards and embankments suddenly unfold as a separate world. The author, an architect by education, looks at Kolomna with a careful, meditative gaze. Narrow streets, damp pavements, cast-iron bridge grates, and the facades of old houses dissolving in the fog come into the frame. Water here is not just a background, but an equal hero: in the reflections of the Fontanka and canals, lights and fragments of the sky freeze. There are almost no people in the photos, and this makes the presence of the city's inhabitants feel sharper. Empty courtyards, windows with muted light, and rare figures in the depth of the perspective create a sense of a city of memory, where the past and present slowly flow into each other. Kolomna appears as an "island" within the structure of the metropolis-a space where the rustle of old stories can be heard. The compositions echo avant-garde photography and European urban romance: unusual angles, a play of lines and planes, working with halftones and soft light. The artist avoids postcards and grand views, choosing to shoot modest sections of streets, courtyards, and corners of houses. The outlines intertwine with blurred patches of fog, and the texture of stone and plaster is almost tangible. The series forms a cohesive portrait of St. Petersburg, which lives slowly, breathes dampness, preserves the memory of past inhabitants, and remains modern. We tell you on KudaGo where to go in St. Petersburg this weekend for free.
