I CAPTURE WHAT MOVES YOU

Hi, I’m Nastia. I’m a photographer, and I’m a dancer too.

My dad taught me photography on his old film camera, and I’ve loved it ever since. What touches me most is the moment when people forget about the camera and simply are themselves: laughing, dancing, holding each other a little tighter.

Since 2012 I’ve been photographing weddings, love stories, portraits and dance events: WCS, discofox, swing, salsa, bachata, kizomba, line dance — and the list goes on. Mostly across Europe, and wherever the dance floor calls me around the world.

Because I dance myself, I feel the music the way you do. I know when a movement is about to reach its peak, and I’m already there. I stay close, but never in the way. People often tell me they didn’t even notice me, and then the photos appear.

My wish is simple: that one day you look at these pictures and feel it all again.

“There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.”

“Black and white are the colors of photography. They symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is subjected.”
