A native of Russia, Elena Iv-Skaya worked as a model before moving behind the lens to explore her own creative vision. As a photographer, she is inspired by the models she works with and by feminine elegance. Elena produces beautifully expressive and lucid images that strike a balance between haute couture and graphic art. In some cases, she also plays the role of decorator by creating breathtaking landscapes so that her subjects can exist. Her world cannot leave anyone indifferent: her incredibly rich and well-groomed color palette and her graphic compositions make her photographs wonderful creations closely related to painting. In short, her style is imbued with her passion for a highly aesthetic imagery, strong and elegant, with saturated colors and play of light. Diving into her world means opening the doors of a minimalist and stylized world in which sublime female models play freely in front of the camera.
As an internationally renowned artist, Elena has campaigned for dozens of major brands such as Naturella, JC Le Roux, Les Georgettes, Leclerc, Avon, Lalique, LUC... and his work has been published in international publications such as L'Officiel, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Sunday Times Fashion, The Edit, Glamour and PHOTO magazine, etc.
