Hi, I'm Valeria

Learn more about my story and discover how I work – from concept to camera.

….Before stepping into photography full-time, I held an executive role within a city council. That experience developed my ability to network, collaborate with local businesses and approach every project with focus and professionalism. These two careers, although so different, were equally enriching and have played a significant role in shaping who I am today.

My path as a branding photographer started in Ukraine, when I worked with a local entrepreneur who needed fresh, high-quality imagery to elevate her online presence. Together we created a cohesive visual identity that reflected her personality, workspace and craft. Capturing her in action, highlighting her artistry behind her work led to increased engagement and client interest.

That experience confirmed my belief in the value of branding photography. I’m continually inspired by my clients, just as I hope to inspire them, making every collaboration a meaningful exchange.

Since then, I’ve worked with small and medium-sized businesses across diverse industries – from fashion and beauty to hospitality and construction both in Ukraine and the UK. I’m always open to exploring new sectors and discovering the unique stories behind every individual and brand.

What truly lights me up is meeting new clients, many of whom I’m lucky to work again and again. Each project brings a fresh perspective and often reveals unexpected connections and shared values.

Working with passionate business owners is my favourite thing in the world and I can’t wait to collaborate with more of you.

Let’s celebrate where you are – in life and business – through thoughtful, authentic and personal photography.

Every month, a character.
Not always a person.
Sometimes, a form that feels like one.

Let`s flip our calendars to May.
A small ritual -
mine, and perhaps yours too.

May begins with My Oh My —
where toys return, rather than retire.

Work with @myohmy_toys
Let`s see what the month brings.
