Publish Not your original work? Add source If you take photographs just for fun and to preserve memories, your photo collection would include so many different places, faces, and backgrounds. However, professional photographers often have a niche in which they specialize, like nature photographers or some photographers who only like shooting sunsets or people. Russian photographer Fyodor Savintsev also has a particular interest which he shows on his Instagram. He really has a focus on old dachas in the rural areas of Russia and the breathtaking photos have already amassed 122k followers.

He was also the chief photographer for ITAR-TASS, the largest Russian news agency and one of the largest news agencies worldwide. Since 2011, he is more focused on his own projects rather than working for someone and one of them is capturing old dachas in Russia. Fyodor told the European Heritage Tribune (EHT) how it all started. It's actually not an old project. Due to the pandemic, Fyodor temporarily moved to his parents' dacha and the childhood nostalgia prompted him to investigate dacha architecture. #2 fsavintsev Report Final score: 136points POST Draco's Dragonfly Draco's Dragonfly Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Squeel!

I was inspired by the process of painting unusual houses. Returning to the Moscow region, I began to explore the old country villages and found a lot of houses with unusual architecture, I began to catalog them, they were included in the project "Kratovsky dachas", which was exhibited at the end of the summer at the Shchusev State Museum of Architecture." #4 fsavintsev Report Final score: 122points POST Mark Serbian, PK&RG,W Mark Serbian, PK&RG,W Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Serious camouflage 16 16points reply View more comments #5 fsavintsev Report Final score: 121points POST Alexia Alexia Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago This one look like it's from a fairy tale 12 12points reply View more comments #6 fsavintsev Report Final score: 119points POST Mary Rose Kent Mary Rose Kent Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Magical! 7 7points reply View more comments We were also curious how he finds the dachas and turns out, he just simply travels a lot and during those travels, he comes across a lot of old cottages. The ones that attract him the most are "pre-revolutionary architecture that are elegant houses with a well-thought-out layout and decor aesthetics." We asked him if he has a dacha that is his favorite and he answered that he really likes all the cottages he photographs. But if he had to choose, he said that "there is one house from Arkhangelsk that evokes very abstract feelings, and there is another old dacha that was designed by the architect Vashkov, he was a student of the artist Vasnetsov, there are many symbols and signs in the house. Such a mixture of modern and Russian style." #7 fsavintsev Report Final score: 107points POST Mary Rose Kent Mary Rose Kent Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago I’d want the room on the right end for my bedroom 7 7points reply View More Replies...
