about

I’m Dara Ilvesneva, an entrepreneur and versatile photo and video creator based in Helsinki. I approach new challenges with passion. I trust my own visual eye, but I always carry out shoots in collaboration with the client, listening carefully to their wishes. I have been photographing since 2021, gaining extensive experience in capturing nature, people, products, events, and sports. As a skilled visual composer, I aim to make my images look natural and carefully finalize them during the editing process. I have completed a vocational qualification in media with a focus on photography, as well as a year of studies in visual journalism and photography at a folk high school. I use modern cameras, high-quality lenses, and professional accessories to ensure that every photo and video is sharp, clear, and visually impactful. As a photographer, I’m approachable and strive to make each shoot a friendly and enjoyable experience. In my free time, I enjoy dancing—especially bachata, and occasionally salsa.
