About

I’m Mariana, a Ukrainian-born commercial photographer based in San Diego, CA.

My work is shaped by a European sense of taste, attention to detail, and a love for harmony, natural beauty, and thoughtful visual storytelling. I’ve lived in California for the past six years, and after spending almost a year traveling across the United States by car with my husband, I became even more inspired by light, place, people, and the quiet details that make an image feel alive. 

I work across fashion, accessories, beauty, lifestyle, and portrait-driven projects, always balancing creativity with the client’s goals. I care about the brands, people, and products I photograph — and I believe the strongest images happen when there is a real creative fit between the idea, the subject, and the team.
