Hey, my name is Anastasiia Nelen

My main focus in my work is creative business headshots. I’ve been photographing people for 15 years and I help those who don’t know how or don’t like to pose, feel comfortable in front of the camera. I want to show the power and individuality of each woman.

Testimonials

Alina Rapp
Anastasia, your talent behind the lens truly shines through in every shot. From the composition to the lighting, and the way you captured every detail, I was completely blown away. Each photo tells a story and evokes a feeling, which is such a testament to your skill as a photographer.
Not only was the photoshoot itself a wonderful experience, but the final results exceeded all my expectations. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.
Thank you so much for your dedication and creativity. Your work is truly inspiring, and I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to collaborate with you.

Olesya Uglova
We worked with Nastya twice. I am photographer and I see the talented ones. When I need photo shoot for my professional work or family pictures I always look for the person who is interested in people. The other words Nastya SEES you, she cares you and as a result you see your real beauty on the picture. Anastasia is really gifted and can offer her clients the beauty she is able to see transferred to the pictures. I feel really grateful to work with her.
