About

Hello — I'm Alexandr.

The empty places keep finding me — so I started carrying a camera to meet them properly.

I make my living building things on the web and editing video. The other half of my life happens somewhere quieter: on the kind of road that stops being a road, in front of a building everyone else has agreed to ignore. This site is where those trips end up — a field journal of abandoned places, ruins and brutalist architecture, wherever in the world I find it.

I'm drawn to the honesty of it. A ruin can't pretend. Brutalism doesn't flatter you. I photograph these places the way I find them — half-lit, half-fallen, mid-sentence — and write down what standing there actually felt like. No restoration, no nostalgia. Just the place, before it's gone.

Most of what I shoot first appears on Instagram as video. This is the slower archive: the stills, the coordinates, the notes.

Looking for the developer?

This is my photography journal — the thing I link in my bio. My professional work, the apps and the web work, lives on a separate site. If that's what brought you here, head over there.
