The bronze monument on Malaya Sadovaya Street in the center of St. Petersburg was erected on January 25, 2001. The monument is a 2.5-meter figure of a photographer preparing to take a photo. The photographer is holding an open umbrella, and an English bulldog is hiding under the tripod on which the camera is mounted.

The location for the elegant sculpture was not chosen by chance; it was on Malaya Sadovaya, in house No. 3, that the photo studio of the famous Bulla dynasty of photographers was located from the beginning of the 20th century until the 1930s. Their works immortalized famous politicians, scientists and artists, the most important events in Russian history, masterpieces of St. Petersburg architecture (many of which have already been lost and live only in these photographs).
