Every woman here started the same way — a photo she sent me from her phone. Sometimes no makeup. Sometimes fully done. Trying hard or not trying at all. It doesn’t matter. What she thinks is her best and what she sees through my lens are two different women.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
I know what it's like to dread a camera
Thick accent. Fought with my weight my whole life. Came from Moscow in 1994 with no English. Cleaned houses, baked cakes, delivered brochures — long before I ever picked up a camera. So when you tell me you hate being photographed, I won't reassure you. I'll prove you wrong. Twenty-six years and eight international and national titles later, and still... the only thing I'm interested in is you seeing yourself properly, probably for the first time.

Show me a photo.
That's how it began for every woman above. Send me any photo from your phone (no makeup, bad light, it doesn't matter). I just want to see who I'm talking to, and start envisioning what we could create together. Then we talk.

I hate being in the spotlight. Kira manages to find the you that is hidden inside.
I'd like to reach out to all those women who are waiting until they lose the last 5 or 10 kilos. You do not need to delay.
