Photo exhibition by Ekaterina Knyazkina "When the trees were big" Automatic translate

Personal exhibition presents the author’s view on the theme of childhood. As the poetess Larisa Shuminskaya wrote: "When the trees seemed large, we felt comfortable in that little life, then we believed in a fairy tale with hope…"

The subject of Catherine’s artistic interest is children - sincere, touching, changeable, complex. In his works, the photographer seeks to convey the transience of life, emphasized by the slow majesty of nature. Moments of elusive childhood are captured in warm summer evenings, winter twilight ringing from the frost, fine autumn days.

Her photographs seem to return to the carefree past, give the viewer the opportunity to remember themselves as they will never be. The plots of the photographs are imbued with the pacification of nature, and the main characters are children who really live in their own fairy-tale world, where it is difficult to draw the line between fantasy and reality.

Childhood stories told by the author through photography will captivate you, creating your own special world in the space of the exhibition gallery.

Ekaterina pays great attention to the organization of the filming process, most of the costumes are sewn specifically for a photo shoot in her own studio.
