Marfa is a fantastic photographer. She made the whole experience very relaxed and fun. She... read more was also helpful in what worked/did not work and gave me confidence in the process. Quick and efficient - and very effective. Everyone (including me) are thrilled with the photos! I would recommend Marfa to all who need a great, up to date professional photo. Note, we were in a public area but it was not busy and the setting visually turned out great in the pictures.

  • 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!
