Hello, I'm Elena.

I picked up my first camera as a teenager and never really put it down. What began as a habit of photographing friends on long train journeys slowly became a way of seeing the world, and then a life.

Today I split my year between weddings, portrait sessions and travel assignments. The thread running through all of it is the same: patience, natural light, and a genuine interest in the people in front of my lens.

I work quietly and stay out of the way, so the moments you remember are the ones you actually lived.
