We see a young woman against a bleak November landscape in the photo. Bare trees and bushes are reflected in the pond behind her. In the distant background we see the roof of a building
This photograph has allusions to the 1979 film "Stalker" by Andrei Tarkovsky. This sci-fi parable is based on the Strugatsky brothers' story "Picnic on the Side of the Road".
In a certain forbidden Zone, it is rumored that there is a room where the most cherished wishes are granted. A fashionable Writer and an authoritative Professor go to this room — each for their own reasons, which they prefer not to talk about. And leads them there Stalker - a guide to the Zone — either a fool or an apostle of a new faith.

Ekaterina began photographing as a teenager at the age of 14. And of course, it was analog photography. Shooting on a Zenith, playing with exposure, developing and hand printing.
In the 2000's came the era of digital photography, and from the middle of the decade Ekaterina began to engage in reportage photography.
In 2016, she returned to analog photography again.
Now in her work she explores association as a way to connect pictures of the surrounding reality with sensory experience. Her photographs reference books she has read, movies she has watched, music videos, works of art, and simple stories that happen in everyone's life.
The genre of portraiture attracts her with its ability to show the human gaze and real emotion, be it joy, peace, tension, dramatic strife in the soul.
Ekaterina prefers to capture the moment when shooting and takes a film camera even on a simple walk in the park.
