Elena Shumilova wrote to EarthDesk: I was born in 1981. I grew up in a small town near Moscow. I studied in a common school and my passions were music and art. When I graduated from school I entered Moscow Institute of Architecture where I practiced with sketching and painting a lot. I suppose it is sketching and painting that defined my feeling for photography and composition.

After graduating from the university I spent several years working as an architect and designer. My passion for photography manifested in early 2012 when I got my first DSLR camera. Soon after – in the summer – I upgraded to Cannon 5dmark2 with 50mm lens. I’ve been shooting every day and processing the images at nights. By autumn I felt I found my own way of approaching photography. At the end of winter 2013 I got a new lens – 135mm – which immediately became my favorite one.

I largely trust my intuition and inspiration when I compose photos. I am inspired mainly by the desire to express something I feel, though I usually cannot tell exactly what that is.

I’m so glad that my pictures are liked by so many people. It inspires me and makes me create better pictures.
