My name is Elena.
I was born in Moscow but have been living in the Netherlands since 2013.
A few years later after relocation, I became a mother - and that experience quietly shifted the way I see the world. It changed how I look at childhood.
What we choose to show.
What we soften.
What we overlook.
Photography entered my life not as a hobby, but as a language. A way to explore presence. Light. Depth.
Today, this work is not about creating beautiful images. It is about seeing. Allowing a child to exist without correction. Without performance. Without expectation.
This project is deeply personal. It began with my own child - and continues with every family who values depth over decoration.
