About

I have been photographing people in Riga for over a decade.

Most of my work happens in the ten minutes after someone stops performing for the camera. That is the frame I am waiting for.

My background is in fashion and beauty — editorial, lookbooks, model portfolios — but the approach carries over to any portrait: soft, controlled light, few people on set, and enough time that nobody feels rushed.

I shoot in my own studio in Riga, on location across Latvia, and travel for campaigns. Shoots run in English, Latvian or Russian. Every job leaves with a retouched, colour-graded delivery you can put straight into print or a feed.

Placeholder — real quotes go here

What clients say.

“Sample testimonial. Replace with a real quote from a past client — two or three sentences about how the shoot felt and what the images did for them.”

Client name · Role, Company

“Sample testimonial. A short line about turnaround time or how comfortable the session was works well in this slot.”

Client name · Role, Company

“Sample testimonial. A brand or agency quote here balances the two personal ones beside it.”
