Hello, future dream clients!

I’m Yuliya Zakharava — a professional digital & film photographer based in the heart of New York City.

My journey began not with a business plan, but with passion.
Ten years ago, I spent my last savings on a camera and started capturing my friends just for fun.
Back then, many people said: “Photography isn’t a real job.”
I almost believed them.
But something inside me said: keep going.
 
Now, over a decade later, I’ve completed more than 2,000 photoshoots, taken countless courses (in photography, retouching, psychology, and art), and worked with amazing people from all walks of life.
It hasn’t always been easy — but it’s been worth every moment.

And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this:
Loving what you do makes all the difference.

I specialize in both digital and film photography, blending emotion, storytelling, and aesthetics to create timeless images.

If you look at my work and feel something — if it speaks to you — then we’re probably a perfect match.

Feel free to contact me!
