About Irina
Photography, for me, is not only about how something looks. It is about how it feels to be seen, to be present, and to recognise yourself in an image.
I am drawn to quiet honesty, natural light, and the subtle emotional space where people feel most themselves. My work explores the connection between inner and outer worlds, between stillness and movement, strength and vulnerability.
Each image is created with care, patience, and deep attention.
My journey
I was born in Siberia, near Lake Baikal, surrounded by vast landscapes and silence. Nature shaped the way I see the world and taught me to notice small, meaningful details.
Photography became a natural extension of this way of seeing.
Over time, my path expanded to include yoga, embodiment, and a deeper understanding of presence. These practices transformed not only how I live, but how I work with people.
They allow me to create a space where you can relax, breathe, and simply be yourself.
My approach
My sessions are calm, unhurried, and gently guided.
You do not need to perform or know how to pose. I guide you naturally, allowing moments to unfold rather than forcing them. This creates images that feel authentic, timeless, and deeply personal.
I work primarily with natural light and meaningful environments, whether in your home or outdoors, creating images that reflect your true presence.
A glimpse into my world beyond photography
My work is deeply connected to how I live, move, and see.
Who I work with
I work with individuals, families, and business owners who value authenticity, depth, and emotional connection.
My clients are often creatives, entrepreneurs, mothers, artists, and thoughtful individuals who want more than just photographs. They seek images that reflect their truth, their story, and their presence.
Many return over the years, allowing me to document different chapters of their lives.
Beyond photography
Photography is not separate from how I live.
Yoga, nature, motherhood, and travel continue to shape my sensitivity and awareness. These experiences allow me to meet each person with openness and respect.
This is not simply a photoshoot. It is a shared experience of presence and trust.
If my work resonates with you, I would be honoured to create images that reflect your story.
Recognition
Alongside commissioned portrait sessions, I also offer Artistic Discovery experiences. These sessions go beyond traditional portraiture and create space for deeper artistic exploration, shaped by conversation, intuition, and shared vision.
If you feel drawn to this work, I would love to hear from you.
