ABOUT ME
Darina Nuraeva — Photographer, Visual Storyteller
I don’t just take pictures — I create worlds.
Each shoot is a blend of your story and my vision: cinematic, sensual, poetic, sometimes mythological — always personal.
I work with light like a painter, with emotion like a director, and with you — as the co-creator of something unforgettable.
Whether it’s a portrait, a family moment, a brand aesthetic or an artistic concept, I build the mood around you — using references from cinema, fairy tales, fashion, and cultures across the globe.
You don’t need to know how to pose. I will guide you.
You don’t need a clear idea. We will find it together.
You just need the desire to see yourself — truly, beautifully, powerfully.
Let’s create something that stays with you.
Not just a photo — a moment of magic.
📍Based in Ulsan, South Korea
What I use to capture your story
Camera: Sony Alpha 7 II (a7M2) — full-frame mirrorless
Lenses:
– Sony 16–35mm — for wide, atmospheric shots and cinematic movement
– Sony 50mm — for intimate portraits and dreamy depth of field
– SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/1.4 (vintage lens, adapted) — for soft glow, nostalgic tones, and film-like magic
Mobile: iPhone 15 Pro Max — for spontaneous moments, behind the scenes, and crisp 4K video
Each tool brings its own mood — from modern sharpness to dreamy vintage softness.
I see you differently and I will create a new world for you, your world
