Originally from Moscow and shaped by years of travel, Yana brings a global perspective and a sharp sense of storytelling to fashion, brand, and advertising photography. Before fully stepping into image-making, she worked in biochemistry research and earned a Master’s degree in Protein Biochemistry — a foundation that continues to inform her work with a mindset that is curious, precise, and deeply detail-oriented.

She later completed a Master of Arts in Commercial Photography at the Academy of Art University, where her work was awarded Best Portfolio of the Year. With over 12 years behind the camera, she creates bold, polished, concept-driven campaign imagery that is visually striking, emotionally resonant, and often infused with humor, wit, and a subtle touch of surrealism.

A full-production partner from concept through final delivery, she leads creative direction, production planning, casting, styling, set design, and high-end post-production — ensuring every project feels cohesive, elevated, and performs seamlessly for the brand.
