Hello! My name is Elina. Photography is the language that I speak, the way of telling the world what is important for me. Many years ago I made a choice to stop dividing my life into two parts, and my art work became inseparable with my life. Photography as a way of speaking, as a way of healing and be healed.
I shoot love: weddings and families, couple love stories, atmospheric reportage from cosy events. I also try to show the beauty of everyday life through my pictures. On every shoot that I make and every event that I create I try to build a warm, safe space where life happens naturally and I can observe and fix it with my camera.
I choose naturalness over artificiality and organize the shooting process as a meeting of good friends so you can feel comfortable and relaxed. It's important for me that you remain yourself in the picture so I don't make a lot of retouching.
Recently I also have started to create journeys for small groups and one-day art events.
Traveling is the air I breathe, I used to travel a lot by myself: Europe, the UK, South-East Asia. Then I decided to take everything that inspire me and present it to others as a group tours. I also create art events in Moscow where you can get away from all the routine, be relaxed and meet nice people.
I live in Moscow, Russia but I can't imagine my life without traveling: it's my endless inspiration, my fresh air, and I'm always ready to travel for a beautiful shots.
If you share my philosophy and my vision - I'm sure we can create something beautiful together!
