let me tell you mine..

Before you share your story..

Hello! I’m Svanna—a storyteller at heart and a photographer by passion. With nearly a decade behind the camera, my focus has always been on creating images that capture not just moments but the essence of people’s stories. Rooted in a love for life and a spirit of adventure, my approach to photography is about bringing these qualities into every frame. I believe that the best photographs emerge from an easy, relaxed atmosphere, where laughter flows naturally, and each glance or gesture tells a unique story.

"The raw materials of photography are light and time and memory"

Keith Carter

What Drives Me


One of my favorite quotes by photographer Keith Carter resonates deeply with my approach to photography. This thought captures the essence of what I strive to achieve in every image. Light brings warmth and depth, shaping each moment with natural beauty. Time, always fleeting, is what makes every photograph feel precious, a sliver of life held still. And memory—this is the heart of it all. Photography, for me, is about preserving these memories in a way that feels genuine and alive, allowing you to step back into those moments and feel them just as vividly as the day they were captured.

As a self-taught photographer, I’ve invested countless hours in the darkroom, immersed in the art of black-and-white film, and gained hands-on experience across film production and editing. My style draws from the nostalgia of vintage film, with warm, timeless tones and a focus on authenticity. I’m dedicated to creating galleries that feel as personal as they are timeless, giving you the chance to relive these cherished memories for years to come. Documenting love, laughter, and life’s beautiful chaos is my passion, and I couldn’t be more excited to capture your story.
