I just had a photoshoot with Marfa Vasilieva and it made my day :) Great... read more and light atmosphere, nice people around, everything is perfect! Last year I participated in Motanka project so in our old group chat I`ve seen a message about a photoshoot for Linkedin profile. I knew Marfa`s works so the choice was obvious. The photographer knows perfectly what to do. It was fast, quality and in an atmosphere of pleasure. The location was incredibly beautiful, there was also a grand piano! It was so great because that is what I needed for my CV and the photoshoot. Many thanks!
