Photography is my passion. 📷

I capture the city as I see it through my own eyes. Street photography with a documentary approach.

@elonmusk It is a good step to leave a legacy behind and provide an opportunity to build a future together.

@iam_smx Beyond what he has given to humanity, he has managed to show many people a direction for development and a vision. Elon Musk is a man of the 21st century.

Autumn 2026 still feels more like a continuation of summer 🍂
There’s a special kind of magic to trams - they instantly add a cinematic, cozy quality to any shot. Capturing these warm urban moments with a Canon 7D, no filters used. 📸✨

Time in the city seems to slow down when soft sunlight filters through the golden foliage. Photographers stand frozen, waiting for that perfect shot ⏳

Shot on Canon, October 2026. No filters.

Sometimes a photograph fails to capture the most essential elements: sound and continuous motion. 🚋🍂

Another ride.
Same seats, different strangers.
Checkered jacket, striped trousers -

Adjacent subway seats: a black-and-white check pattern on a jacket and a stripe on the trousers.

Ostankino Tower.
Moscow. Black & white.
Silence in the frame.

The evening city is full of lights and cars - Tverskaya Street, October 1926

A shop window captured through the open doors of a tram. The twilight of an autumn evening and the light from the tram car complement each other.

An autumn courtyard in the morning, where cars- covered in yellow leaves after a cold night- still sit in the parking area.

I’ve always liked people on skateboards, even though I’ve never ridden one myself. The way they move through the city looks like flight- full of freedom.

@NarutoNolimits @elonmusk He’s actually right about this. We haven’t even reached the threshold beyond which lies an entire, unexplored world.

[Tolya Kaftan @tolyakaftan]

The city hides behind the trees. Autumn leaves, concrete, and a quiet passerby. A moment when nature and urban life share the same frame. 🍂

@viewbug Color can sometimes dominate the frame, distract the eye, and blur the visual message. Without it, we can see deeper into the image and focus on what truly matters.

[Tolya Kaftan @tolyakaftan]

@viewbug Black and white photography removes the distractions that color can create. It draws attention to details, textures, light, shadows, and composition that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Moscow Metro Circle Line station; photo taken during open hours—managed to catch a moment with no movement.

@historyinmemes The first installment I saw in a movie theater as a child captured my soul for this universe forever, and I eagerly await every new Star Wars film.

@viewbug My next black-and-white walks and accidental shots captured from daily life on my smartphone always find their way to my X (Twitter) profile. Make sure to visit often so you don't miss where the streets take me next!

A quiet Saturday. The city’s architecture is multifaceted: at times grandiose, at others—simple and weary like this. And I just happened to be there with my camera.

Raindrops on the window, warmth inside, and a dark autumn evening outside. The city looks best in monochrome. #Monochrome #CafeFrames #RainyDay
