About. Main | Anastasiia Nelen photographer

Hey! I am Anastasia Nelen, a portrait photographer.


I’m so glad you’re here! I’ve been a photographer for over 15 years now and have done photo stories in more than 35+ countries. I do documentary—style stories, portraits, love stories, family photos, and elopement weddings. 

When I’m not behind the lens I absolutely love traveling and exploring new cultures. On a regular day, you might spot me walking through the beach and checking sea turtles' nests because I also do a volunteer job and try to protect nature. 

If not, most likely, I’ll be reading a book, editing photos, or perhaps chatting with friends, maybe planning the next women’s club meeting that I have organized.  For me, it is important to have a supportive community and communication with entrepreneurs and active women around the globe.

Let’s check what I am creating!
