My name is Ilya Afanasyev. I have been a professional photographer for 10 years and I have a lot of work related to the shooting of my clients. The main direction is reporting and staged shooting for advertising and for social networks. I am a travel photographer and my hobby is to visit beautiful natural monuments and take pictures of magnificent nature. I do this so that many people, like me, can go on a travel and get in touch with nature. Nature is the main source of goodness in the world of modern people. By organizing trips and publishing my images, I give people the opportunity to raise their spirits and, ultimately, get in touch with Vedic knowledge.
I am doing my best to bring as many people as possible into contact with our teachers and eventually come to the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is my main motive in creative, educational, and social projects that I regularly conduct.
I have quite a lot of footage taken during 10 years of travel. I took part in more than 20 exhibitions that took place around the world from New York to Paris. I also do a lot of creative projects related to shooting people.
