New York City is a place of endless discoveries. To show it all off, we’re excited to announce #streeteasyfinds. Share your NYC finds with us: Photos of homes, views, neighborhoods, or anything you’d like, and we’ll regram our favorites.

Each month we highlight the work of one of our favorite NYC photographers as they share their #streeteasyfinds with us. Meet Pavel Bendov, the photographer behind the Instagram accounts, @imxplorer and @archexplorer.

NAME: PAVEL BENDOV // ACCOUNT: @IMXPLORER + @ARCHEXPLORER // FROM: BELARUS
ACCOUNT EST: 2012

ACCOUNT BEGINNINGS
“I decided to document and share the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy through my account and the feedback I’ve received helped me to realize the power of sharing and visual storytelling. Since then, it has been my favorite platform to share my vision with the world. In 2014 I started a separate account, @archexplorer as I decided to pursue an architectural photography career.”


FAVORITE SPOTS TO PHOTOGRAPH IN NYC
“Cityscapes, urban life, architecture – that is all I have been sharing from the very beginning. I spend a lot of time exploring and photographing the Financial District, Tribeca and Chelsea. I also love Dumbo, Williamsburg and Greenpoint in Brooklyn.”


PAVEL LOVES NYC BECAUSE…
“I think everything always boils down to people. It is people who make me love New York City.”


DREAM CITY OUTSIDE OF NYC
“I have always dreamt about living in Tokyo.”
