Hi! I’m Lina, a portrait and street photographer
My photography is all about authenticity, genuine emotions, and rich, vibrant colors. I create cinematic photos that tell a story.
I offer photoshoots in Moscow and the Moscow region, and I’m also available for travel to other cities.

My Approach
Your comfort is my top priority. That’s why I guide you through the entire process with care and attention — from our first conversation to the delivery of your final images.
You can reach out to me with any questions at any stage.
For portrait sessions, I develop each concept individually, taking into account your appearance, personality, and preferences, while staying true to my own artistic style.
It’s important to me that you feel comfortable in front of the camera, move naturally, and express yourself in a way that feels authentic. I also hope that my photos will help you see yourself from a fresh perspective.
Services
I offer portrait photoshoots both in a studio and outdoors. I work with natural and artificial light.
We’ll develop the concept of our shoot together based on your ideas, goals, and preferences.
Education
I help photographers speak English with more confidence.
I also offer online consultations for photographers, portfolio and photo reviews, as well as guided street photography practice sessions.
How long does a photoshoot last?
The duration depends on the package you choose. Sessions typically last 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours.
You can find detailed information about packages and pricing here.
How do I book a photoshoot?
Simply send me a message through your preferred messenger app or call the phone number listed on the website.
If possible, please include the type of session you’re interested in and your preferred dates.
Your booking is confirmed once the deposit has been received.
What does the photoshoot process look like?
- We discuss your ideas and goals for the session.
- We choose outfits and a location.
- If necessary, we book a studio and rent equipment, clothing or props.
- We then have the photoshoot in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
- Afterwards, I carefully edit the photographs and deliver the final images to you.
Can you help me choose a location?
Absolutely. Based on your ideas and preferences, I will suggest suitable outdoor locations or studios once the deposit has been paid and a date has been reserved.
I always approach location selection individually for each client.
Do you help with posing during the session?
Of course! More to that, I believe in an individual approach.
Some people prefer actual posing in front of a camera — they, kind of, freeze in one pose, then slightly change it every now and then. In that case, I’ll guide you on how to stand, sit, position your hands, and make small adjustments that look natural on camera.
Others prefer movement and candid moments. If that’s your style, I’ll suggest simple actions and prompts to help create natural, dynamic photographs.
Can we choose outfits together?
Absolutely. For the best results, every element of the shoot should work together harmoniously.
I’ll recommend suitable colors, fabrics, and styles based on the concept of your photoshoot.
I also provide visual references for inspiration and can help you choose specific outfits for the shoot.
When and how will I receive my photographs?
Your edited images will be ready within 2–3 weeks after the photoshoot.
The final photographs are delivered through cloud storage, and the download link remains active for 3 months.
Please note that RAW/unedited files are not provided.
Can I reschedule my photoshoot?
Yes. You may reschedule your session once without losing your deposit, provided that the new date falls within the current month or the following month and is available.
Please note that if we are using a studio or another location with its own booking, cancellation, or rescheduling policies, those policies must also be followed.
Do you offer photoshoots outside the city?
Yes, I do. However, please note that travel expenses (for example, taxi fares) are paid separately by the client.
Why Do I Work in Two Genres?
I simply couldn’t choose just one.
Why Portrait Photography?
I love meeting new people and building that moment of connection when someone starts to relax and feel comfortable. The best photographs are created when trust appears. That’s why I’ll never ask you to smile if that doesn’t feel like you.
During a portrait session, I can guide the process. Tell you to stand here or turn your head slightly. We discuss the outfit, mood, and location in advance.
In many ways, a portrait session feels like making a small film — and I’m the director.
Why Street Photography?
Street photography is the complete opposite. I can’t ask a stranger in a beautiful coat to walk past me again.
I simply observe, wait, and capture the moment. Sometimes you come home with nothing. Sometimes you come home with a photograph that feels as though it found you.
Street photography has taught me to be fully present. To keep looking around, notice the light, and discover something new in places I know well.
It has also taught me how to improvise.
That skill has helped me countless times during portrait sessions because things rarely go exactly as planned. The weather changes. Props break. Something unforeseen happens.
I think what I love most about both genres is improvisation. That’s where something truly alive is created.
