The Russian Portrait

Getting in front of the camera can be scary but Sergey made me feel at ease by explaining the whole process, helping me reflect on and remind myself why I love my body, and made it a fun and relaxed environment. His artistry and photographic skills are astounding and will guide you through the whole process to create images that make you feel empowered!

I had an absolutely positive, professional and comfortable experience shooting with "TheRussianPortrait". I was reassured during my photoshoot that I was in creative control and we would only shoot images that I felt comfortable doing. We also made sure we both understood what each other felt the images should look like (which I really enjoyed). I felt very safe the entire time and relaxed, and we had a wonderful afternoon together shooting steamy portraits of myself. My pictures turned out beyond what I could've ever imagined, they are absolutely stunning. I would highly recommend portraits and boudoir with TheRussianPortrait.

I had such a great time shooting with Sergey! I felt very comfortable and loved the final photos xx

I was very nervous leading up to the experience, but that feeling soon disappeared once I arrived. I had so much fun! The environment was so respectful and I learned more about myself than I ever expected to. The most difficult part was choosing only a few images to keep. I went into the shoot thinking it would be a one time thing but I definitely want to do it again in the future!

This shoot really changed how I feel on the inside - in my head , on a day to day.

I feel like my confidence did a 180. I am way more confident and comfortable in my body , In my skin , in how I carry myself and how I approach people and the world. The best part is that my morale is at such a level now that it has led me to be able to set stricter boundaries in my personal and professional life- something I’ve been struggling with for ages. I think the shoot gave me the boost I needed to remember who I am and all that
I’ve overcome , and it gave me the boost I needed to push back at all the people who used to try and walk all over me or rope me into things I wasn’t aligned with.

10/10 would recommend to anyone who needs that confidence kick - it’s a bit uncomfortable in the beginning but by the end it’s like severing the rope tied to a cement pipe dragging you in the ocean - now your free to swim !
