About Me

I’m Olena Hastilow.

​

I was born in Ukraine, but I’ve lived in the UK for over 25 years and now call rural Staffordshire home.

​

Over the years, my love for photography has grown into a creative practice that allows me to capture genuine emotion, personality, and the quiet beauty in everyday moments.

​

My approach is friendly, relaxed, and centred on making you feel comfortable so your true self can shine in front of the camera. I believe photography is more than a session – its an experience, and I want you to enjoy every moment of it.

​

Alongside my work, I will be sharing thoughts and stories on my blog, where I willwrite about my creative process, recent shoots, and the inspiration behind some of my favourite images. It’s a space where I will explore ideas, challenges, and the artistry that shapes my photographic style.

​

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website – I can’t wait to work with you soon.
