Stella Kalinina

Pro Type: Photographer

I'm a Russian-Ukrainian American photographer based in Los Angeles. I work on contemplative, poetic narratives about our connections to each other, our personal and communal histories, and the places we inhabit. I bring empathy, curiosity, and a collaborative approach to portrait-based stories that are firmly rooted in a sense of place. I seek to imbue stories of people with dignity grounded in our shared humanity. My work uses primarily natural light and color for their honesty and lyrical qualities. My clients include publications, institutions, and brands.
