Shumilova mostly uses children and animals as her subject matter. She uses the elements that come from different seasons to create balance and contrast. Lighting is particularly different for different seasons, creating various natural colors, and Shumilova uses that to her advantage. Without doing this, Shumilova's compositions could become boring and repetitive.
What are the artist's conceptual and/or thematic intents?
Shumilova seems to capture the indescribable bond that children have with animals. Though adults also have strong bonds with animals, it is a bit different for children; more intense. Shumilova brings this to light and intensifies the moment that the children are having with their furry friends through her lens.

How do you respond to these choices and intents?
Shumilova's work is the kind that you cannot stop looking at. Each time you look at her photographs, you notice something different; whether it be in the subjects, background, foreground, or lighting. And you also can't help but to feel a certain way about them. They force emotions to stir and to me, that is what makes photography most successful. Shumilova's work is beautiful, emotional, and serene.
