Erin is so used to spending her time travelling, so when the pandemic hit, her whole world changed.
She explained, "I went from having a full work schedule to an empty calendar."
The photographer decided to brainstorm ways to stay creative within her profession.
The brainwave
Erin had a brainwave, "What if I created adventure scenes entirely within my apartment?"
The TikTok sensation ordered a bunch of miniature figures and got to work.
Using pillows, bed sheets, broccoli, paper and loads more items, Erin created some incredibly imagery.

She was approached by CBS, NBC, Insider, The Morning Show, Daily Mail UK and more.
"I've continued the series and plan to keep going with it even after travel restrictions lift," Erin said.
