Khitrovskaya Square is now a very beautiful place surrounded by historical buildings: the surviving house Khitrovo, the profitable estate of Bunin. Preserved and the building, founded in the XVII century — the house of Yaroshenko, who at different times belonged to high-ranking officials. This square is the birthplacethe of great composer Alexander Scriabin.
But in the 19th century, Khitrovka was the most dangerous place in Moscow.
There is a myth about this once dangerous square that it also attracted the legendary con artist, Sonya Zolotaya Ruchka. It was here that she found her social circle, she could practice her skills and learn new things. As the legends say, in one of the houses the girl hid the treasure, consisting of the stolen jewels, but to find it so nobody has managed till now. Fans of easy money either went mad, or died under mysterious circumstances.

Ekaterina began photographing as a teenager at the age of 14. And of course, it was analog photography. Shooting on a Zenith, playing with exposure, developing and hand printing.
In the 2000's came the era of digital photography, and from the middle of the decade Ekaterina began to engage in reportage photography.
In 2016, she returned to analog photography again.
Now in her work she explores association as a way to connect pictures of the surrounding reality with sensory experience. Her photographs reference books she has read, movies she has watched, music videos, works of art, and simple stories that happen in everyone's life.
The genre of portraiture attracts her with its ability to show the human gaze and real emotion, be it joy, peace, tension, dramatic strife in the soul.
Ekaterina prefers to capture the moment when shooting and takes a film camera even on a simple walk in the park.
