About Me

My name is Marina, I’m a photographer.

I have been a photographer for over 20 years. My first digital camera, which was an Olympus, when I was 15 years old lead me to explore my environment and the people around me, at the time I lived in New York City. I was drawn to the beauty and culture of the city, leading me to focus on Photography and story telling in high school for which I received an award. I continued my pursuit of photography through college and have attained a Bachelor’s in Fine Art, with a focus in Photography from SUNY Purchase.

With time I realized just how much I enjoy working with people and taking your portraits. Every family and individual is unique and it is always an honor to have the opportunity to capture you on camera. I look forward to working with every single one of you and hope that I get the honor to capture your important life moments. Thank you for choosing me to take your portrait.
