ANNA CHEKRYSHOVA
portrait photographer
Tallinn, Estonia
Hi, I’m Anna, a portrait photographer based in Tallinn.
I create photos that carry a deeper meaning and those that go beyond the screen.
You don’t need to do a heavy makeup or be under pressure to look in a certain way. You don’t need to know how to pose.
Most of the time we’d talk, laugh, have fun, dance, listen to music or do whatever it takes for you to show your true emotions and yourself.
What I’m looking for is the moment when you stop adjusting, and something more real appears.
I typically offer 2 types of photo shoots — honest portraits and conceptual photo prints.
Honest portraits - simple, stripped back portraits in a minimal studio setup, with your natural skin, expressions, and details left intact. I keep what is real, and only remove small temporary distractions.
Conceptual photo print sessions may take you out of your comfort zone, and break the norm. These images are often created to live beyond the screen — as prints you can keep, or hang on your wall. These are the photos that carry the meaning and are remembered. .
Additionally, I also offer photography mentoring services.
If you’re looking for more than just a photoshoot,
let’s get in touch and create something deep together :)
A lot of mainstream photographers seem not to think about what they’re doing or feel any responsibility toward anything. By the time they’re done, the models don’t have any trace of themselves left. This thing about looking young with no wrinkles or expression is all so boring, really.
