We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Olesia Paliukh. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Olesia below.

Hi Olesia, thanks for joining us today. What sort of legacy are you hoping to build. What do you think people will say about you after you are gone, what do you hope to be remembered for?

This is a very interesting question… I don’t know what people will say about me; for me, it’s more important what I will think of myself at the twilight of my life. Did I do everything I wanted to? Did I do enough to fully realize my potential? Did I do enough to help others realize theirs? For me, my work is not just photography; my work with clients is not just a photoshoot. It’s working with the soul and body, a way to unite these two and help a person see their true beauty. If through my photoshoots, women can come back to themselves, love themselves more, see their beauty and become happier and more confident because of it, that would be the best outcome I could wish for.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I was drawn to photography from a young age, starting to take pictures at 14, and was infinitely happy with my hobby. Now, I’m a professional portrait photographer, specializing in female portraits. Yes, I love creating beautiful love stories for couples in my photoshoots, but women’s portraiture is my endless passion. Working with me is not just a photoshoot; it’s photo therapy. Many women, after working with me, discover new facets in themselves, fall in love with themselves, start doing what they’ve always wanted to do, change their lifestyle, and they start shining brightly like the beautiful star that exists within every woman. Mystical? No, I just really love my job and enjoy inspiring people. I offer a 2-hour photoshoot with carefully selected styles and locations that best reflect the client’s natural beauty. The client doesn’t need to worry about a thing; I handle everything. If the client wants makeup and a hairstyle for the photoshoot – I’ll take care of that too. Is the client worried about not knowing how to pose? I will send them a posing guide before the photoshoot for free and will ensure they feel confident and comfortable during the shoot.
I am very proud of my work and the results my clients achieve when working with me.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

As I mentioned earlier, my goal is to make women happy and confident, so that each can realize her potential and enjoy life, doing what she wants.

Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?

I think it’s my attitude towards people, because that’s what matters most, isn’t it? The human is the highest value, that’s my belief. You can provide a quality service, but if you’re an unpleasant person, clients will never come back to you. I provide not only a quality service but also build relationships with people. With some of my clients, we have become friends, and that’s wonderful. All my clients are amazing people; we often resonate with each other and are on the same wavelength.
