Margarita Kareva "seasoned" her work with otherworldly mysticism and fantasy.
Margarita Kareva is a photographer from Yekaterinburg (1700 kilometers east of Moscow). She uses her signature photography techniques to create photos with a unique fairy tale atmosphere.
This photographer combines charming decoration with photoshop editing technology, which relies heavily on creating unique colors with fairy tale mysticism.
Her works usually feature animals, birds and flowers as well as mysterious locations such as dense forests and incomprehensible lakes.
"I just like any fictional story. I don't really like photorealistic shots, anyway, I think it's everywhere on the internet, so I just want to add something magic and fiction to my work. Otherwise, just shooting and editing I'll be bored... boredom is my biggest fear," Kareva said.
Although she mainly works with female models, she occasionally takes male as the protagonist. For example, an accidental encounter in Bali, Indonesia produced this small portrait series.
Margarita accidentally started photography when she received her first SLR camera as a birthday gift. Over the course of several years, she has formed a unique style and fan base.
This photographer has more than 56,000 followers on the photographer website 500PX, 54,000 followers on the Russian social network VK, and 571,000 followers on the Instagram.
Currently, Kareva will build herself as an educator, actively promoting her masterclasses and webinars to help beginners improve their skills and increase their income.
Her 500PX page claims that the photographer is open to invitations from around the world. She said she would take photos for them for free if her accommodation and air tickets were paid by customers. That is to say, if this idea interested her.
