misha kepkin — a photographer and curator based in moscow

i work primarily with documentary and street photography, occasionally moving into portraiture and reportage

i shoot both digital and film

beyond photography itself, i like building things around it: competitions, open calls, photo critiques, livestreams, and other ways of getting people to talk about photography a little more — and, hopefully, making the medium more visible and accessible

what i’ve been up to:

2026 — created and launched “vse na ulitsu” — an independent street photography open call in collaboration with film lab Filmly

2026 — curated the “lyudi lyubyat zamechat” open call by Khlebozavod, Filmly and Rodchenko Art School

2026 — started hosting public livestreams dedicated to photo critiques

2026 — launched “fotochyos” — a series of walks and conversations with photographers about how they shoot, why they shoot, and everything that happens in between
