Description
These images depict the interior courtyards, or "wells," characteristic of historic residential architecture in Saint Petersburg. Photographers are drawn to these spaces for their unique geometric framing and the dramatic contrast between the dark brick facades and the sky above. The shots vary in exposure and angle, capturing different times of day and perspectives looking directly upward. This specific architectural layout is a defining feature of the city's 19th-century housing blocks. All images share the visual motif of a rectangular opening to the sky surrounded by repeating windows.
