Get to khow me better

Hello! I’m Karina, a photographer passionate about capturing your happiest moments and genuine emotions. I’ve been a photographer for over six years, and during my life, I’ve lived in six countries. This has given me a deep understanding of different cultures and the ability to connect with people from all over the world.

Currently, I’m based in Rome, and whether you’re looking for iconic backdrops or secret, less-traveled corners, I’ll help you find the perfect setting to create timeless memories.

I speak English, Russian, and Ukrainian, my Italian is in progress.
I can’t wait to meet you and capture your story!

What is my style?

My style is Cinematic Emotional Storytelling with an accent on your aesthetics to create timeless photographs. I strive to capture emotions in their most authentic form—unposed, natural, and deeply personal. I love working with soft, natural light, dynamic compositions, and subtle movement to bring a cinematic feel to every shot. My goal is not just to take photos but to tell your unique story, preserving emotions and moments you’ll treasure forever.

The way I work

I believe in creating a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere where you can be yourself. Whether it’s an intimate elopement or a spontaneous couple’s shoot in the streets of Rome, I guide you gently rather than posing you rigidly. I focus on movement, interactions, and those little in-between moments that make your story feel real.
My approach is about making you comfortable, capturing your emotions naturally, and ensuring that every photograph feels like a cherished memory rather than just a picture.
