Introduction

Published Professional Photographer with 17 years of experience. My style is simplicity and elegance, a combination of editorial and candid photography, for modern individuals and brands. I love to capture authentic moments but also can help highlight the best in each individual, whether it's a mom, a blogger, entrepreneur, or a bride to be. I am always here to help with planning, posing, suggestions and any other questions. Pictures are usually delivered within a week.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

I have my regular packages but I am also working with each client individually so depending on your needs we may discuss the best price that will work for you.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Step 1. We'll do a quick consultation over the phone or video to discuss all the details (planning, locations, time, pricing, best outcome, brainstorming idea if necessary). I'll answer all the questions. Step 2. Signing the contract (online ) and booking the date (50% deposit required) for all types of packages except weddings (20% deposit). Step 3. Shooting day. I'll make sure to make it comfortable and easy for you, will help with anything during the shoot Step 4. Post Production and delivery. Within a week (usually) you'll receive the link to online gallery with edited photos (all in high resolution) where you can safely view and download all the files, mark your favorite ones and share it with friends and relatives. Step 5. Depending on the package, you'll have the option to receive additional retouching on the favorite photos of your choice. Final photos will be delivered within the next few days

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I am always learning and growing. Having masters degree in psychology and graphic design, I figured out that photography is my thing: Beauty + people + connection+ creativity. I graduated from the Academy of Classic Photography in Europe, then got a professional degree in Fashion Photography in Europe. After I moved to New York City I finished Fashion and Brand Photography program by iconic Nick Knight.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Over the past 15 years I have worked with many different types of customers from individuals to an international businesses all over the world and especially in New York City where I've been working for over 10 years. Among them are celebrities, actors, singers, dancers, influencers, beauty queens, modeling agencies, magazines, entrepreneurs, fashion brands etc. Among my recent clients are Forbes, Rarible, Bibhu Mohapatra, Evgeniy Chernyak, Tyson Fury, United States of America Mrs 2021 and many more.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

If you go to my Featured Projects you can find some pictures from Jeff and Leigh Wedding. It was not a regular wedding. It was a wedding 2.0 for them! Being together for 27 years, they've decided they love each other so much, they want to do it again! The vows that they had for each other was so touching, we all barely could hold our tears. These authentic emotions and moments are so beautiful and valuable, I was just filled with joy and gratitude. And they were happy to receive beautiful pictures within just a week! I love my clients and love being a photographer.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Identify what kind of outcome do you want and what kind of person will be the most comfortable one for you to work with. If you're looking for a quality service and product, be careful with cheap options and try to get to know the professional a little more before the shoot. Don't be afraid to ask any questions that you have, even uncomfortable ones. A little chat over the phone call or even video meeting could help you make more confident decision. Good luck!

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

What kind of photography do you want and what is the purpose of the photos in the end? What editing style do you prefer? What outfit(s)/makeup/location(s) do you have in mind? (Do you need any suggestions or help here?) Think of any other questions you might have regarding planning, photoshoot process, post production process, delivering pictures.
