Olessia, can you tell us about yourself, please. Where do you live now and where are you from? How did you discover photography and what motivated you to get started?

I am from Russia, I live in the Krasnodar Territory. At first I worked as a make-up artist, then I decided to master photography in order to shoot my work.

Can you please explain some of the feelings you are trying to achieve in your photographs?

With my work, I try to convey the idea that absolutely all people are beautiful, the main thing is to find how to show and emphasize this.

What gives you ideas and what inspires you to create your beautiful images?

The entire world around us is a source of inspiration, from the simplest to the most complex things at first glance. The main thing is to look at the right angle.

What is it like being a female photographer in a field dominated by men?

I am in a slightly different position from male photographers, since the entire photo shoot, from start to finish, is my creation. The idea, selection of a model, location, clothing and accessories, makeup, hairstyle, the shooting process itself, retouching are all my work. In most cases, in one photo session, I try to make at least three different looks for one model.

What do you like to do when you are not behind the camera?

Probably everything is the same as the others - I spend time with my family, communicate with friends. But in parallel, the brain is always looking for new ideas for inspiration. I am Aquarius - and Aquarius is always a little creative.
