About ElenA PEtrova
Telling stories through beautiful images is Elena’s passion.
Her photography is inspired by all the art, music and culture that she has experienced. She loves storytellers like Jean Luc Godard and Wes Anderson, feels happiness and satisfaction finding harmony and style wherever she goes; museums to see Rembrandt and Picasso, photo galleries to be inspired by Henry Cartier Bresson, Garry Winogrand, Paolo Roversi, and photographer duo Inez and Vinoodh, theater to see a beautiful ballet and even concerts to listen to jazz or Mahler. In her photographs you always feel a story was behind it.
She admires mood, mystery, gestures, eyes, shadows, eye-catching lighting and beautiful wardrobe.
All these elements help to tell a story in all her work and create unique and timeless photography.
Elena loves to collaborate with talented creative people and work in a team with stylists, make up artists, models, dancers, and filmmakers.
Her work includes editorial photo, “Waiting”, that has been chosen as a best shot and published in the photography magazine “Popular Photography” ( December, 2014) and in a book called "The Complete Portrait Manual" in January 2016.
2018 Elena received One Eyeland Photography Award in Advertising and Fashion category for her project “Acrobat Approved.”
