Hi, I'm Svitlana 👋, a photographer based in New York, New York, USA, available for photography services across the surrounding areas.
Based in New York, Lana specialises in cinematic couple and engagement photography, combining timeless documentary storytelling with a touch of nostalgia.
For Lana, great photography starts with connection. Her approach is to become a friend first and a photographer second, creating a relaxed environment where couples can be themselves and enjoy the experience. Rather than relying on rigid posing, she uses simple prompts and gentle direction to help couples naturally interact, creating images that feel genuine, effortless and full of emotion.
Her goal is not simply to create beautiful photographs, but to capture how a moment feels. By helping couples feel comfortable and fully present with each other, Lana creates photographs that tell their story while preserving the atmosphere and emotions of the day.
With a background in graphic design, Lana brings a strong understanding of composition, visual balance and colour harmony to her photography. She began pursuing photography seriously in 2022 and has since developed a distinctive style that blends documentary observation with cinematic storytelling.
Originally from Ukraine, Lana moved to the United States in 2023 and spent her first year in Texas before relocating to New York in 2024. Her journey has shaped her outlook and creativity, giving her a strong appreciation for new experiences, people and the stories that connect us.
When she isn't behind the camera, Lana enjoys playing guitar, singing, practising yoga and hiking. Her curiosity and passion for learning continue to inspire both her life and her photography.
Based in New York, Lana is available for couple and engagement photography and would love to help you create a collection of images that feels personal, authentic and timeless.
