Hi!

My name is Elena.

I’m deeply in tune with the world — attentive, kind, and guided by my heart. I seek harmony within myself, in my relationships, and in every frame I create. I love a life filled with warmth, humor, travel, nature, kindred spirits, and work that sparks inspiration.

I graduated with a degree in economics, but the work never brought me joy. After moving to Poland in 2018, I began searching for my true path and fell in love with photography. At first it was just a hobby — capturing beautiful moments on my phone. Later, my passion for cooking drew me into the magical world of food photography. In 2020, I bought my first camera, and that’s when my professional journey truly began.

Since then, photography has become a significant part of my life. After five years in Poland, I moved to Portugal in 2024, settling in Porto, where I continue to create and stay inspired. I’m always learning, growing, and refining my craft.

I photograph food and objects not simply as compositions of light and form, but as an opportunity to express atmosphere, ideas, and aesthetics. For me, photography is a creative practice and a way to share a feeling. It’s important to me to breathe life into each frame, to add meaning and a touch of magic.

I draw inspiration from nature, travel, art, and the cuisines of the world.

I love exploring different shooting styles and hunting for props — whether it’s a beautiful dish on a store shelf or an elegantly twisted branch found on a walk.

I listen with my whole attention and hear beyond the words. When working with brands, I take their product’s philosophy to heart and can offer ideas to enhance the concept and add a distinct visual spark.

I'll be happy to collaborate! Let's create visual magic together.
