MARIYA NIKITAYEVA
Portrait photographer for pets and humans
About
I specialize in creating timeless portraits that capture the unique beauty and spirit of both humans and animals. I believe in the power of simplicity to convey profound meaning and evoke emotion.
I started my photography journey in Ukraine, developing family portraits in my dad's darkroom. This early experience sparked my passion for capturing the beauty in everyday life.
My background in classical painting has instilled in me a deep appreciation for composition, light, and the power of a well-crafted image. I bring this artistic sensibility to my photography, creating portraits that are both visually stunning and emotionally resonant.
My goal is to capture the essence and individuality of my subjects, pursuing timeless aesthetics while preserving personal connection. For cats and dogs, I strive to create art that they themselves would commission and proudly display.
Based in Westport, I serve clients throughout New York and Connecticut.

What fascinates me much, much more than does anything else in my metier is the portrait, the modern portrait
