Ilia Denbrov photography

About me

More than 10 years ago I gave up commercial photography and since then I have been shooting only as a hobby. Occasionally I participated in various collective exhibitions and projects, but in 2022 I decided to devote most of my time to photography. I am currently studying at the Doсdoсdoс school and working on several long-running projects, including books about Kaliningrad and Bishkek, where I live now.

I am interested in documentary and art photography, telling stories about people, events or phenomena.
