Parikas brothers


George Johannes Parikas and Peeter Parikas, collectively known as the Parikas brothers, were Estonian photographers.
In 1910, the brothers established a photo studio and publishing house in Tallinn. In 1912, the studio received rights to photograph in theatres. In 1949, the studio was nationalised and the studio was acquired by the Estonian SSR Theatre Union. The studio's archive consisted of over 20,000 portrait photos. Today the photos are scattered among Estonian memory institutions.
Together with the Märska brothers, Theodor and Konstantin, the Parikas brothers also managed Estonia's first film union: Estonia-Film. From 1926 to 1931, the brothers published the film magazine Filmileht.
