He also helped his father in his photographic studio and took portraits of many famous Russian figures, such as Alexander III, Nicholas II, and Napoleon III. He was recognized for his mastery of natural and artificial light and his artistic expression in photography. He died in 1940 and was buried in Leningrad.
