Hey! I’m Lana, and I absolutely love what I do :) I’m always excited to meet new people during sessions, share a great time together, and guide you through the preparation process to make everything fun and easy!
My journey into photography started with graphic design, where I fell in love with creating compositions, working with visual balance, and finding harmony in colors. But the magic of photography inspired me and now I bring that same passion and skills to every shot I take!
I started taking photography seriously at the beginning of 2022, just after the war in Ukraine began. It was a time when I felt a strong desire to stay true to my soul and go into photography.
In 2023, I moved from Ukraine to America to build a safe, new life and develop my passion for photography. The transition wasn’t easy - I moved alone, knowing only one person in US, speaking not very good English. I moved with faith in myself, my camera and with just $200 in my pocket.
It was challenging, and I often felt lonely and isolated, but I knew this journey would make me stronger. With my curiosity about the world and a deep desire to grow, I was determined to embrace this new culture, learn English, and find the right people to support me along the way.
I spent my first year in Texas but soon felt the need to move forward. In 2024 I moved to New York. I knew it was a serious step, but I also felt it was an inevitable one.
Photography is a soulful choice for me - not just a profession, but a calling where my spirit feels at home. Besides photography, I love playing guitar, singing, practicing yoga, reading, and hiking. I am interested in many things: from spirituality to neurobiology, exploring the connections between the mind, body and soul. Never-ending curiosity and passion to learn and observe is definitely something that fuels me and my creativity!
Well, I guess we’ve broken the ice a little bit! Feel free to reach out - I would be delighted to work with you and capture a part of your story. To get in touch with me, you can message me on Instagram or fill out the form on my website :)
