Born in southern Ukraine and raised in a household shaped by both Ukrainian and Vietnamese cultures, Yana grew up closely connected to nature and its quiet, ever-changing beauty.

Now based on the shores of Lake Constance in southern Germany, she captures the details that shape a moment — the softness of light, gentle textures, fleeting expressions, and the atmosphere in between.

She approaches her work as a visual storyteller, drawing particular inspiration from spaces within hospitality — places where design, nature, and people come together to create a distinct mood. Yana translates these environments into imagery that feels immersive, warm, and alive.

For her, it is essential to preserve the spontaneity of a moment. She aims to capture things as they truly are: natural, unforced, imperfect, and full of atmosphere. Her work goes beyond images; it is about creating visual stories that can be seen, felt, and remembered.
