She mainly shoots fashion and beauty. Her work has spanned the globe from Russia to the U.S. Her images have a vivid quality even with the darkest of moods. She has always had a love of anything eerie and beautiful. With this shoot, Alena wanted to create a somber mood while still showing an elegant side to the long forgotten barn. The technical goal of the images was to desaturate the color to create the overall mood, but not sacrificing color altogether. Alena’s photography aesthetic varies from colorful to the dark and morose. However, she always likes to retain that bit of edge that is a common theme in her photographic style. The fashion and beauty were also meant to reflect this same ideal.
