Hi, I'm Darya.
I’m a New York–based photographer specializing in weddings, corporate events, portraits, and live performances across New York City and the Tri-State area.
I started photographing dance and concerts, which probably explains a lot about the way I photograph today. I’m always looking for movement, emotion, and interactions between people.
Since 2016, photography has taken me from intimate weddings and family celebrations to corporate events, conferences, galas, and concerts. I’ve photographed events for organizations including Dolby and Women Who Code, and some of the work I value most has come from clients who invite me back year after year.
My photography is bright, vivid, and timeless. I want colors to feel alive and people to look like themselves. Sometimes a moment calls for black and white or something a little more dramatic — and I like having the freedom to follow that feeling.
I take photographing important events seriously, while keeping the experience relaxed and natural. I want people to feel comfortable around the camera so I can focus on the real moments, interactions, and atmosphere of the day.
Outside of photography, my background is in communications and contemporary dance. I’m drawn to art, music, travel, and stories about people — all of which influence the way I photograph.
If you’re planning something and think my photography might be a good fit, I’d love to hear about it.
