Ksenia, Localgrapher in Lisbon

Style:

My style is natural, aesthetic and romantic. I love to capture the emotions and feelings, showing the beauty of the moment and city character. For me it’s very important to connect with people during the photoshoot and try to reveal their true persona through the photos.

Likes:

Creating art through photos. Meeting original and easy-going people and having great conversations together. Drinking hot ginger tea accompanied with an interesting book or movie.

Recommended places:

I enjoy the old district of Alfama and Mouraria, since it transmits authentic Lisbon atmosphere with its narrow streets, beautiful viewing points, coloured buildings decorated with azulejo.

I like to shoot in the city centre as well (Baixa Chiado, Bairro Alto, Rossio), because it has got lots of touristic iconic sightseeing points, that look amazing as the background for portrait photography.

Shooting in Belem can also be an option. Belem is a historical district, which is the setting for many Lisbon most iconic and important tourist attractions.

I can also shoot in Sintra for longer shoots. Sintra is a Portuguese town close to Lisbon with a variety of wonderful tourist attractions, ranging from ancient castles and magnificent palaces to beautifully-maintained gardens.
