Hi, I'm Erika Parfenova!

If I were asked to choose just one country to travel, I would name Nepal. There is everything here - ancient streets, amazingly kind people with kind eyes, rich and untouched nature and the great Himalayan mountains. Then I decided that I had to show this amazing place to others. I came up with the journey - Red Nepal The top point of our photo tour was the ascent to Poon Hill

I began to notice that expressive photography is often born of spontaneous desire.  When the mood board is not prepared.  There is no make-up. We just experiment in the space around us, we are nearby.  Light changes, poses release character one after another.  Click, and now one more movement remains in the frame.

I love to see the light shimmer on the curves of the skin. And at the same time I am a fan of movement, I love working with the body in all its forms. In this series I want to show the curves of the human body, which is continuously engaged in yoga.

One of the most significant characters in Chinese mythology is the werewolf fox. "Now that I know you, I can't just forget you. Please, let's go and sleep." And since then, the fox wife returns to the man at night in the form of a woman, and in the morning she runs away like a fox. Hence the Japanese name for the werewolf fox, "kitsu-ne" - "let's go and sleep", and "ki-tsune" means "always coming"

Autumn is coming. Daylight hours are getting short. But nature explodes with incredible colors. Colorful sunsets, smooth color transitions on trees. The last motley flash before the onset of monochrome winter

Which country do you miss the most during the global quarantine? I remember Nepal with love. Mountain ranges, incredible landscapes, long walks between villages. I have already organized three photo trips to the Himalayas, where people not only travel through the mountains, but also learn to notice the beautiful and show their impressions through photography.

My journey took about 7 hours - during this time I managed to get scared, get lost in the clouds and find the way again. I walked like in the scenery of the film - at this moment the world was incredibly beautiful and empty.

Horse and girl, freedom on nature Project by Erika Parfenova

Сreative project inspired by urban locations, natural texture and female beauty.

Devil's Church or Pirunkirrko rock formation is a place for rites and ceremonies of ancient people. Sacred spot or ‘hiisi’ for shamans and wizards was a site for sacrifice.

The Botanical Garden is one of the best places in the city. A magical corner of nature created by people. Flowers and leaves are full of life. If you want to immerse yourself in the miracle of nature, see amazing shapes, colours and textures - follow the call of plants.

I fell in love with China at first sight. Therefore, I was waiting for a new meeting like Alice, who wants to return to Wonderland. In this project I selected the best photos from the second China ethnographic expedition of Artemy Lebedev.

If you’ve ever sailed to deserted island and walking at night, you wait for the dawn and fall asleep to the singing birds. Karelia, Ladoga lake, Russia. Night landscapes, long exposure, tripod, video light.

It was a warm light in the room and I could only guess what is behind the window - was it evening or morning? wear wondermarry, muah Natasha Russak

I went to China together with the expedition of Artemy Lebedev. Every day we woke up and went to watch, walk, communicate with the country and its inhabitants. This is a project of ethnographic notes and photographs of the most interesting places I visited.

Anyone who has ever been in Asia knows that India is generous with gifts and literally changes people. That's why I was going to meet my 25th birthday in the ancient and mystical city of Varanasi. I took the camera and went to a meeting with adventures all alone.
