Elena Chernyshova è una fotografa documentarista russa.
Autodidatta, ha sviluppato la passione per questo linguaggio visivo durante i suoi studi presso l’Accademia di architettura. Dopo due anni di lavoro come architetto, Elena ha lasciato il lavoro ed ha intrapreso un viaggio in bicicletta da Tolosa a Vladivostok e ritorno: 30.000 chilometri, 26 paesi, 1.004 giorni di esperienze culturali, umane e stimolanti. Questo viaggio l’ha portata a decidere di diventare fotografa.
La fotografia per lei è un modo per indagare la vita quotidiana di diversi gruppi e comunità analizzandone i cambiamenti ambientali, politici ed economici. Il suo lavoro mira a mostrare l’impatto di determinate condizioni dell’attività umana, i processi di adattamento e la varietà di stili di vita.
Elena collabora regolarmente con National Geographic Russia, Geo e altre riviste e lavora ai suoi progetti personali a lungo termine.
