Hi, I’m Anastasia!

I am a portrait and fine art photographer based in Cambridge, MA.

My personal work explores the transcendence of motherhood, womanhood and our connection to the natural world. I use portraiture to find emotional connection with people I photograph, using light, color and texture to create vivid and intimate images that inhabit the space between the real and the imaginary, and convey a sense of mystery and tension. 

I have a BA in Linguistics and a Photography Certificate from Boston University. In 2024-2026 I will be attending the Photography MFA program at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

I am available for portrait commissions, photography workshops and select commercial projects.



Ways we can work together:

I use portraiture to find emotional connection with people I photograph and play with formal qualities like shape, light and texture to convey the mood and atmosphere and bring in a sense of mystery and tension.

I am interested in making images that are unexpected and playful, whether they are created with an editorial story in mind, or for a private commission.

Portrait Photography

I help creative entrepreneurs and organizations bring out the essence of their brand by using collaborative portraiture to tell personal brand stories that inspire and engage.

I also work with brands on developing and shooting campaigns, using a mix of portrait, fashion and still life photography.   

Whether you’ve been in the industry for a while, or are building your brand from scratch, I’d love to help you amplify your work and connect with your audience.
