Михова Марина

Photography has been with me since school, but for years it stayed alongside a career - more than a decade in international business, from Roland Berger to Danone. My first maternity leave finally gave me the space to study photography properly. I learned from photographers whose work I had admired for years, and eventually it became my profession. What I brought with me is an understanding of people who are used to controlling how they come across - and how different they look once they stop performing. That is what I photograph: cinematic light, deliberate framing, and the moment a person becomes less aware of the camera. I give direction when it helps, but never force a pose. What I love most about photography is the people it brings into my life. Many clients come back over the years - first for a newborn session, later for family portraits or business photographs. Some have even become friends. And often, the part I find most interesting is discovering something in a person they had not expected to see in themselves. Photographing professionally since 2019. Based in Munich. Exhibited at ImageNation Paris. Mother of two - which taught me almost everything I know about newborns, and about children who have no interest in looking at the camera. Sessions in English and Russian.
