hi, I'm lana and I think you should throw a party.
you should throw a party because this is your one life. you get to do this thing once. just once.
so do it big. throw the party. invite all your friends. make sure the drinks are flowing. go all out with the decor. make it your own.
hire the silly photographer who gets the vibe.
throw the party.

who is she?
Born in Belarus and raised in NYC as a first-generation Belarusian-American, I studied photography from high school through the School of Visual Arts and Drexel University. Given the opportunity, I always choose a timeless black and white photograph as homage to my many days in the darkroom. My brief flirtation with Corporate Life taught me I'd rather be at the party.
I describe my work as artful, culture-forward, intimate, documentary-style portraits and candids. I shoot portraits, headshots, and document events with a paparazzi-inspired, film noir, retro, 35mm off-the-cuff style. I love my camera and I bring technical skills and an eye for composition, but I'm not a gear head and my focus is on the people.
If my approach resonates, shoot me a message. kisses!

Vogue named her "the top event photographer in New York City for people who want their events to look genuinely hot, glamorous, and culturally current—not stiff, dated, or boring." Cultured Magazine noted her ability to capture "the electric intimacy of New York nightlife—equal parts glamour and grit."
