AUCKLAND, PORTRAIT FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
KARINA AKHMETOVA
Artful Portraits — Fashion-Inspired, Personal, and Unforgettable
Karina offers a fashion-forward, artful touch photography experience, creating portraits that feel like they belong on the pages of a magazine. Based in Auckland, she works with families, expecting mothers, individuals, and brands, crafting images that are stylish, soulful, and deeply personal.For Karina, photography is more than a profession — it’s an everyday way of seeing the world. Once a hobby, it has become a daily ritual: she can’t go a day without capturing something beautiful. Known for her love of experimenting with light — whether inventing new setups, borrowing from classic techniques, or improvising on the spot — Karina transforms ordinary moments into cinematic scenes.Clients often discover that being in front of her camera is both exhilarating and surprisingly demanding — “It’s hard work being a model, ” they joke after a session. But it’s always worth it. Whether chasing the golden sunset at Muriwai or exploring new locations, Karina creates photographs that go beyond appearances, capturing not just how you look, but who you are. Her work is a celebration of light, color, and connection — preserving moments with honesty, style, and a touch of artistry.
Yes, I’ll tell you how to stand.
But not to make you look “perfect.”
It’s so you can see yourself the way I see you — beautiful, brave, alive.I love chasing light, playing with color, and dreaming up ideas.
I like to guide you through movement and poses —
sometimes it feels a little like theater,
but you’re always the star of the story.My favorite people to photograph are the ones who trust the process,
who are curious enough to try something new,
who aren’t afraid to feel, to laugh, to just be.I want you to walk away from your session seeing yourself in a new way —
a little bolder, a little brighter, a little truer.
And I want every photograph to whisper back to you: you are already art.

Далеко-далеко за словесными горами в стране гласных и согласных живут рыбные тексты. Вдали от всех живут они в буквенных домах на берегу Семантика большого языкового океана. Маленький ручеек Даль журчит по всей стране и обеспечивает ее всеми необходимыми правилами. Эта парадигматическая страна, в которой предложения залетают прямо в рот.
