About me
I’m Zlata, and I’ve been living in Istanbul for three years.
Falling in love with photography here felt so natural — the city and people here are a constant source of inspiration.
I studied Photography at an institute in Istanbul and was lucky to learnt from a talented Istanbul photojournalist.
I love shooting in a cinematic, street-photography style — not posed, more like still frames from a movie.
And if you’d like, we can add more artistic storytelling and create a fully stylized shoot.
Let’s capture your Istanbul story!
Portfolio
Here you can explore my portfolio, organized by shooting locations.Take a look — you might find a place that feels perfect for your own session, or we can choose a special one just for you.
Photo Session Reviews
An important thing before making up your decision! And I promise — before the photo session we’ll get to know each other, so during the photo shoot you’ll feel as if you’re being photographed by a friend.
Prices and Terms
Photoshoot is not only about the final photographs, but also about the enjoyable time spent together and the informative walk (I will definitely tell you something interesting about the places where we will be taking pictures) — in short, it’s an essential part of your memories of Istanbul!
Istanbul Signature Walks

Writing an Istanbul stories
Three years ago, I came to Istanbul just to dance tango —
and somehow ended up marrying my dance partner.
Since then, Istanbul has become my home.
I taught myself Turkish, learned to see the city through its language,
and with endless curiosity explore its character, history, and rhythm.
Hours of late-night talks with my Turkish husband turned into reflections,
and those reflections grew into Istanbul Stories —
a Telegram channel where I share writing with my own photographs. Unforstunetly the Chanel is just in Russian for now, but I will leave a link anyway in case you get curious about the photos.
