Hi, I'm Valeria -
your personal branding photographer based in the North East. Originally from Ukraine, I’m curious by nature and passionate about discovering people, stories, places and ideas.
My photography journey began over a decade ago, creating imagery for widely used digital libraries. That experience helped refine my eye for detail, kept me in tune with visual trends and taught me what makes an image not just good – but truly compelling.
Today, I work with small and mid-sized businesses to create brand photography that’s full of personality and purpose. Whether you’re launching something new or refreshing your visual identity, I’m here to help you tell your story with clarity and character.
Let’s create something brilliant – and enjoy the process along the way.

"Sunflowers follow the sun, even on cloudy days"
-Robert Leighton was clearly an optimist. 🌻
Fortunately, Erin @hyggefloral knows a thing or two about brightening the day.
Step inside her shop at @bradleygardens and discover your own touch of floral inspiration - whether persistent like a sunflower, serene like lavender or simply beautiful.
I`m just here as a branding photographer, delighted to tell the story behind the blooms. 📸

When a beautiful bunch of flowers becomes a model for a photographer 🌸.
That`s exactly what happens with us photographers -we can`t help but take photos everywhere!
Bus-driver holiday vibes in photography: always on the move, never really resting but endlessly inspired 📸.
A big thank you to @katherinesflorists for these gorgeous flowers and the lovely card that slipped inside- l received it a while ago and finally got round to sharing.
Gratitude really does make all the difference 💛.

Recently I had the pleasure of photographing Sarah @sarahcalavera - gelli printmaker and creative explorer - and capturing her bold, creative spirit.
We first met while studying on a Business for Creatives course, mentored by @plan_a_with_elinor, which was such a valuable chance to connect with others on a similar journey.
It was such a joy to see my photography featured on Sarah`s website, a real encouragement to keep going.
Collaboration and community mean so much, and I`m looking forward to connecting and creating with more of you.
