Hi, my name is Kristina and I am a professional photographer from Moscow. For several years, I've been traveling to see the ice of the deepest lake in the world—Baikal, and here are some beautiful photos from my expeditions.
Lake Baikal is the cleanest on planet Earth. It is located in Siberia and is part of Russia. The first time I saw these beautiful views I was breathless. This is why I return to Lake Baikal every year, sometimes several times a year, despite being busy.
Baikal is a very spiritual place where everyone can find inspiration or comfort for the soul. So I found creative inspiration for my work. Traveling and beautiful landscapes—these are what can really push you to create stunning pictures. And nature is the best sculptor. Look at the clear ice, rocks, splashes, snow, and the magnificent sky. Check out more nature photography shots from this magical place here, here and here.
I hope this beauty of nature inspires you too! Thanks!

I didn't see her at first,I just thought, what a weird way for the lake to form, and then I saw her, she's blending with the rock formation..

It is my opinion that this, and the following images, are works of art created on a computer. They are beautiful, and other worldly. The photographer is an artist.

Beautiful. I wish the face, even partially, can be seen in this photo though

what I want to know, is who is carrying all these dresses around?? they look at least a hundred pounds each. And where does she change? It's FREEZING out there!
Foxxy (The Original) 5 years ago
Lovely dress, that would have taken a while to get it into a nice position.
Maggie Dougherty 5 years ago
What an amazing photo! It melds, so very well with the landscape, that it tricks the eye into blending it all! <3 Oh btw, your model is gorgeous. Good choice!

Is that put in the shot, or is she inside a bubble standing BALANCED on her toes?
Maggie Dougherty 5 years ago (edited)
Gorgeou bubble. I bet when she is done this shoot, she's takes her ballet shoes off, and puts her feet in warm fuzzy socks, and thick warm slippers..after a long day.
Ania Barrett 5 years ago
Look at the reflection of the person who is holding the bubble, dressed in full-on arctic gear. I feel sorry for this poor ballerina model.

I feel like a movie could be made around this pucture. Kinda reminds me of the nutcracker.
Foxxy (The Original) 5 years ago (edited)
You took the words right out of my mouth. Nutcracker was the first thing that came to mind.

Who sprinkled icing sugar, all over the ice? They sprinkled and ran...Elizaveta looks beautiful!!
Maggie Dougherty 5 years ago
Her dress looks like The Nutcracker because, of it's guzziness. It looks ethereal, right? The Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy perhaps?

What an amazing shot with all the fairy lights under her, it looks ethereal! That is one clever photographer, to position Elizaveta just so! I really like the blue effect around her!

I prefer the ones that just show the landscape itself. Adding humans and props detracts from the beauty, IMO. I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I honestly prefer photography (and most art, really) that doesn't focus on us.
leloir 5 years ago
I agree with you, I guess I am a little bit misanthrope. Anyway the photos are fantastic !

I agree. The humans detract from the beauty of nature. However these are beyond beautiful.
