My name is Alena. Originally, I’m from Russia, but I have been living in Slovenia for the past six years. Though my background is in economics and psychology, I unexpectedly found my true passion in photography during the pandemic. What began as a casual photography course has since evolved into a deep artistic pursuit. I now study at the Higher School of Photography and continuously seek to refine my skills.
I specialize in portraiture, with a recent focus on self-portraits. My love for working with color allows me to bring vibrancy and emotional depth to my images. With a background in psychology, I aim to reveal the character and inner world of my subjects, creating a nuanced visual narrative. Photography for me is not only a study of form but also an exploration of identity and emotion.
