MY NAME IS DARIA — I AM A FASHION AND BRAND PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN BERLIN, GERMANY. BESIDES MY MAIN PHOTOGRAPHIC PASSION — CAPTURING MOMENTS AND PEOPLE IN THE FASHION WORLD — I SPECIALISE IN CREATING VISUAL NARRATIVES FOR BRANDS, DIRECTING PHOTO PRODUCTIONS, AND MANAGING CONTENT AND CROSS-CHANNEL COMMUNICATION.
PRESENTED ARE THE WORKS CREATED AT THE SHOWS BY RICK OWENS, YOHJI YAMAMOTO, CLARA COLETTE MIRAMON, SF1OG, KASIA KUCHARSKA, MARIE LUEDER, IMMORTELLE AND OTHERS.
MY INTEREST LIES IN THE SPACE BETWEEN THE COMPLEXITY OF DIGITAL PRODUCTION AND THE EXPLORATION OF ANALOG PHOTOGRAPHY AND PRINTING TECHNIQUES. I ENJOY WORKING WITH FILM AND SLR CAMERAS TO CREATE IMAGES THAT FEEL TACTILE, INTENTIONAL AND SENSITIVE.
I LOVE THE ART OF STORYTELLING THROUGH OBSERVATION AND THE CREATION OF STRONG VISUAL NARRATIVES. MY WORK FOCUSES ON CAPTURING ATMOSPHERE, GESTURE AND SUBTLE MOMENTS THAT BUILD A COHERENT VISUAL STORY.
LIGHT, TEXTURES AND FILM QUALITIES ARE IMPORTANT ELEMENTS IN MY PROCESS. I USE THEM TO SUPPORT THE VISUAL LANGUAGE OF EACH PROJECT — WHETHER SHAPED BY A BRAND IDENTITY OR BY MY OWN VISUAL REFERENCES AND EXPERIENCES.
IN 2023 I HOSTED A SERIES OF WORKSHOPS AT CODE UNIVERSITY IN BERLIN CALLED PHOTO LAB. TOGETHER WITH STUDENTS WE EXPLORED CYANOTYPE PRINTING TECHNIQUES AND DISCUSSED THE PROCESS OF BUILDING A STRONG PHOTOGRAPHY PORTFOLIO.
THE PROGRAM ALSO INCLUDED ROUNDTABLES WITH PROFESSIONALS FROM THE GERMAN PHOTOGRAPHY INDUSTRY, ADDRESSING TOPICS SUCH AS THE ETHICS OF STREET PHOTOGRAPHY, MANAGING CLIENT EXPECTATIONS, AND DEVELOPING A PERSONAL CREATIVE VOICE WHILE WORKING WITHIN A BRIEF.
