About me

Hi, my name is Arina Mikhailova. I’m a photographer whose journey started in Europe, moved through North America, and now takes me around the world. Photography isn’t just my profession—it’s my life. It’s how I see, feel, and express myself. Every image I create is a reflection of my experiences, emotions, and the way I perceive the world.

I’m constantly experimenting, always searching for new ways to translate my vision into photography. Everything around me—art, cinema, music, movement, and life itself—shapes my style and way of thinking. Photography is my language, my experiment, and my way of capturing not just moments but emotions, stories, and atmospheres that stay with you.

My main inspiration is people—their psychology, individuality, and style. I love working with artists and creative teams, bringing different visions together to craft something unique. I’m drawn to movement, to people being themselves, to the raw energy they bring. I love capturing contrasts—their softness or intensity, the depth of their gaze, or the nuances of their personality—blending it all with stylish looks and a glimpse of fashion.

Cinematic colors, grain, textured fabrics, slow shutter speeds, and playing with different types of light—these are the elements that shape my work. They add depth, emotion, and a sense of timelessness to every frame, making each photograph feel like a moment suspended in a story.

Currently in Toronto,Canada.
