How long have you been doing photography? What style or genre most interests you? Two years. I like to capture images of cities and street photography.

Can you give us a short description of your city? Where is it located? What is it famous for? Moscow is the capital of Russia. Everybody should visit it at least once. In addition to Red Square, there are a lot of beautiful places in Moscow: the historical streets and cozy, wonderful parks, modern architecture, houses and shops with history. There are no bears in modern Moscow, and our men do not wear pile field caps:) Welcome!

What is something about your city that only locals would know? I suppose Moscow is too well-known as a city, so everything about it is already widely known.
