Photography 

My photography focuses on capturing authentic moments and genuine emotion. I create animal portraits that convey the character and natural beauty of each pet in its environment. I also work with portraits, street photography, and interiors, aiming to preserve the individuality and raw essence of every subject. My style is centered around authenticity, without over-staging or artificial perfection.

Post-production

My retouching work is primarily focused on collaborations with brands and photographers, especially in the fashion, footwear, and beauty industries. I retouch for well-known European and American fashion& beauty brands. It is defined by a high level of professionalism, precision, and strong attention to detail. I aim to enhance images while preserving texture, quality, and the integrity of the original shot. I follow color references for required color grading.

AI

I work with tools such as Midjourney, Nano Banana, and Flux. My AI-generated visuals (pictures and videos) are created in a natural, refined, and high-end aesthetic, with attention to realism, subtlety, and visual sophistication.

Video

In addition to photography, I create video content. I provide color grading and video editing if needed(without motion design), focusing on cinematic tone, atmosphere, and visual storytelling.

About me

I began studying photography at 12 y.o. I have studied at a photography school and participated and won in photography exhibitions. I have been experimenting with photo and video as artistic mediums for many years, continuously developing my visual language and creative perspective. 

I have 8 years of experience in the fashion industry as an international model, working with brands such as Dior, Moschino, Loewe, and many others, as well as publications including Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Shape, Elle, and Cosmopolitan.

With 3 years of experience in post-production, many more years in photography, this gives me over 15 years of expertise in visual aesthetics and working within the fashion industry, combining on-set understanding with professional retouching and visual refinement.
