Dmitry Ostrovsky, a photographer from Chelyabinsk, is currently touring Russia, capturing images of cities and people with his antique camera. He recently visited Ufa, where he photographed residents and gifted them the prints instantly.

Ostrovsky, recognizable by his beard and hat, uses vintage cameras, some of which he believes may date back to the era of Nicholas II and Vladimir Lenin. He transitioned from digital photography after studying the history of the craft and experimenting with older equipment.

Ufa is the first stop on his nationwide tour, with plans to travel to Vladivostok next year. His instant development process is a remarkable aspect of his work, delivering photographs within seconds.
