Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Viktoriia Margolina. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Viktoriia, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
My mission as a photographer is to reveal and showcase the unique beauty and natural sensuality of women through the lens of my camera. I strive to capture their true charm and create images that highlight their individuality and inner strength. Each photograph I take serves as a reminder of how beautiful they are and the importance of appreciating their uniqueness. Through my images, I want to inspire women to embrace and love themselves, helping them to see and feel their inner and outer attractiveness.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
My name is Viktoria Margolina, and I am from Saint Petersburg, Russia. From a young age, I have been passionate about photography and have dedicated my conscious life to it, starting in 2005 and continuing to actively develop my craft to this day. In my youth, I was a professional equestrian, and my journey into photography began with capturing images of horses. However, my focus quickly shifted to photographing people as my friends and their acquaintances eagerly became my models.
At that time, commercial photography was just beginning to gain popularity, with new studios opening up, and I enthusiastically explored everything this new field had to offer. I quickly became immersed in studio photography and started studying all aspects of photographic art in detail. For over 19 years, photography has been an integral part of my life.
Five years ago, I moved to Los Angeles, where I held an exhibition of my photographs that caused a sensation. Here, I continue to develop as a photographer and pass on my knowledge and experience to others.
How did you build your audience on social media?
Social media development has played a key role in my career as a photographer. One of the main aspects of my success has been active collaboration with talented and creative individuals: models, professionals in my field, makeup artists, and stylists. These collaborations have not only enriched my experience and inspired new projects but also helped expand my audience on social media.
In addition, I have always placed great importance on networking. By participating in various professional communities and events, I have been able to establish valuable connections and build an impeccable reputation in the industry.
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
My reputation and high-quality work have led to word-of-mouth becoming a powerful tool in promoting my services.
Recommendations from satisfied clients and colleagues have become a significant part of my social media promotion, helping me attract new followers and clients. As a result, social media has become not only a platform for showcasing my work but also an effective tool for establishing and maintaining professional connections, ultimately contributing to my growth and success in photography.
