Fast and high-quality service. The photographer knows what she is doing and helps you get... read more in nice poses! The only downside is that the photoshoots are done in public spaces as she does not have a studio. If you want to do it in a private room, you have to pay 20 euros extra.

I had the pleasure to work with Marfa on my business photo shoots. From the... read more start, the whole experience was full of joy: she makes you feel comfortable, at ease, she tries to find a way to get into the mood with music; whatever you might need to make it a fun experience - she probably will be able to provide you with it! I don't like myself on photos lately, but she made me feel like I actually look nice :)

  • It was amazing experience! Marfa is great charming person. With her energy and love she... read more can open you❤️ As usual I am so closed for fotos, but not with Marfa. It was really magic! We did jokes, told about future, had a lot of fun and all it in short time. It was also good for my mental health, I think, because of new emotions. I got such good experience how fotosessie should be. It is not only about posing ( I am really not good model), it is also about emotions and how i feel myself in it. And no jokes, it was something unreal. I am so excited about professional level of fotos and all organization of this project!

    I would like to share my impressions of cooperation with Marfa. She is an extremely... read more talented photographer, because she sees not only the outside but also conveys what is inside a person. Marfa is a great psychologist who finds an individual approach to each person. I can also confidently say that it is not just a photo shoot, it is a specific charm, an atmosphere of lightness and easeness, frankness and intelligence. I appreciate every meeting with Marfa, because even before we start, I am sure of the high quality of the product and her professionalism. I would also like to emphasise that Marfa clearly sees trends and creates them by herself. She devotes a lot of time to social topics and reveals them by placing accents. Marfa has very diverse works and a wide portfolio. Being with Marfa means being honest with yourself, speak boldly and not be afraid of the consequences. Each time when I recommend Marfa to my friends, I get only positive feedback with gratitude.
