Based in Solihull, serving Birmingham and across the UK
I create artistic portraits for people who want to see themselves with honesty, beauty, and depth.
Hi, I’m Irina — an artistic portrait photographer based in Solihull, working across Birmingham and the surrounding areas.
I specialise in artistic portrait photography, creating calm, natural, and deeply personal images for individuals, families, and creatives.
Photography is my way of connecting with people in a genuine and human way. I create a space where you can feel comfortable, present, and fully yourself, allowing your natural beauty and quiet confidence to come through.
My sessions are relaxed and unhurried. I guide you gently, so you don’t need to know how to pose or perform. Whether we’re creating personal portraits or meaningful brand imagery, the experience is designed to feel calm, supportive, and enjoyable.
Let’s create something honest, beautiful, and truly you.
Real moments. Real people. Real presence.

Pauline Astel — Personal Branding
“Irina instantly put me at ease and made the photoshoot genuinely enjoyable. Her positive energy helps you relax and be yourself, and the images she created captured different moods and the essence of my creative process perfectly.
I couldn’t be happier with both the experience and the final photos.”
Alexandra Dikaia — Creative Portrait
“The photoshoot felt truly magical.
Irina listened to all my wishes, made the process easy and inspired, and captured a moment that felt real and full of life.
The final images exceeded everything I imagined.”

My editing approach
I keep editing gentle and considered.
The aim is not to change you, but to support the feeling of the moment.
I work with light and exposure to create balance, refine colour to keep tones natural, and quietly remove small distractions that pull attention away from you.
The result is photographs that feel calm, honest and timeless, with a soft, distinctive atmosphere that stays true to who you are.
Alongside client work, my photography is exhibited internationally and featured in art publications.
