On the other side of the camera, enjoying Norway, Feb 2025
Hey, welcome to my page
Are we a good match?
Thinking about booking a family photoshoot? Or maybe your mum’s friend’s birthday party? Wondering if I’m the right person for the job? Well, read on and decide for yourself.
I’m Elena (pronounced Eleanor), a photographer with a love for real moments, natural light, and people being themselves. My style is mostly documentary — capturing the laughter, the in-between glances, and the little things that make life feel like yours. Whether it’s a family session full of cuddles and chaos or branding photos that feel honest and fresh, I’m here to make sure your images truly reflect you.
That said, I also love a bit of creative play. If you’re up for experimenting with light, angles, and poses — great! Let’s have some fun with it.
A few things about me:
📍 I moved to the UK from St. Petersburg in 2011, chasing love and taking a big risk. It paid off (phew).
🏡 I now live in Caterham, Surrey, with my husband and our seven-year-old son, who’s a proper little bandit.
📸 Yes, even as a photographer, I struggle to get my own child to enjoy having his photo taken. It’s a battle.
💼 I also work in HR at a big tech company in London, but photography is my true love. I’m slowly shifting towards doing more of what lights me up.
🍜 Thai and Japanese food make me ridiculously happy, but I’ll never say no to a classic jacket potato with cheese, beans, and tuna mayo.
👽 I’m a sci-fi nerd—aliens, time travel, dystopian futures, you name it.
If you’re after photos that feel like you, let’s chat. Drop me a message, and let’s plan something great together.
