Portrait & Family Photographer North Devon
For more than 13 years, I have called the United Kingdom home and now live on the beautiful coast of North Devon. My roots in the Komi-Permyak region continue to shape who I am, both as a person and as a photography.
A Little About Me
I originally trained as a director. For more than twenty years, I worked as a journalist, television presenter and producer. Perhaps that is why I have always been fascinated by people, their stories, personalities and life journeys. Today, that same curiosity continues to inspire my photography.
Life Beyond the Camera
I am a mother of three grown-up daughters. I love travelling, the sea, historic places and meeting people from different backgrounds. Travelling has taught me that every person’s story matters, regardless of language, culture or where they come from.
Dogs hold a special place in my life. They are not only part of our family but have also inspired one of my favourite subjects to photograph. I am also a passionate cold-water swimmer and love swimming in the sea all year round with our local sea-swimming community.
