What To Expect
You are welcome to my studio and experience the magic of real photography - you'll have a portrait photographed on historical camera, and if you choose to enter digital realm you can have a scaned digital file. I work with analog photo for more than 20 years and after doing lot of work with my digital equipment and thousands of digital pictures I have regained my passion for chemical photo processes, slowing down, concentrating on each frame, enjoying the slow pace and the somewhat unpredictable results. You are welcome to join this photographic journey and in some sense lottery - you never know what exactly comes out. There's a significant probability that you'll be amazed.

5.00I had a 15-minute photoshoot, and everything was absolutely lovely. The photographer truly understood my vision and captured it perfectly, which made me feel comfortable and at ease. I created these photos as part of a long-cherished personal project — to photograph myself once a year. This session meant a lot to me, and I’m very happy with the results. The shoot took place on Sīmaņa Street in Riga, and overall it was a wonderful experience. Thank you for such a beautiful session!
