Elvina and I have been collaborating for over three years, and every time, I am delighted by the results — whether it is for a professional project or a personal series of images. Elvina, your talent and creativity know no bounds. Thank you!

Hi, I'm Zafaman, a DJ from Colombia based in Berlin. I've done several photoshoots for my brochures and flyers, and working with Elvina was an amazing experience. She made me feel confident, comfortable, and at ease in front of the camera. Her energy and professionalism brought out my best, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend her work — it's truly a great experience!

I needed a portrait photo for my professional profile. The session was comfortable, quick, and very well-guided, which made it easy for me to relax in front of the camera. I'm really happy with the final result! They look natural and confident. I would definitely recommend Elvina to anyone looking for high-quality, friendly, and professional photography.

Das Shooting war mein bisher schönstes Erlebnis vor der Kamera. Ich bin eher schüchtern und verunsichert in Momenten in denen eine Linse auf mich gerichtet wird. Elvina war deshalb die perfekte Fotografin für mich — schon im Vorgespräch hat sie mir ein Gefühl des Aufgehobenseins und der Vorfreude vermittelt — von der gemeinsamen Wahl der Outfits bis zu einem Moodboard auf Pinterest für Inspiration und das Üben von Posen. Das Shooting selbst hat sie mit so großer Freude gemacht, dass ich gleich mitgerissen wurde und aus mir herauskommen konnte (auch das Glas Sekt zum Empfang hat geholfen!). Die Bilder sind richtig toll geworden. Neben professionellen LinkedIn- und Website-Bildern, habe ich nun auch ganz besondere Fotos für mich privat. Ich kann sie von ganzem Herzen weiterempfehlen und das wird auch sicher nicht mein letztes Shooting bei ihr gewesen sein! Vielen Dank, Elvina!

This shoot was my most beautiful experience in front of a camera so far. I tend to be shy and unsure when a lens is pointed at me — Elvina was the perfect photographer for me. Even in the pre-shoot conversation she gave me a feeling of being looked after and excited: from choosing outfits together to a Pinterest moodboard for inspiration and pose practice. She brought such joy to the shoot that I got completely swept up and came out of my shell (the glass of sparkling wine on arrival helped too!). The photos turned out really great — I now have professional LinkedIn and website images as well as very special personal ones. I wholeheartedly recommend her, and this will certainly not be my last shoot with her!

Ich möchte meine großartige Erfahrung mit Elvina teilen, die für mich Fotos für meine Webseite gemacht hat. Elvina ist nicht nur äußerst professionell, sondern auch unglaublich unkompliziert im Umgang. Mit ihrem Blick für Details und kreativen Ideen hat sie es geschafft, mich — obwohl ich eher zurückhaltend bin — vor der Kamera selbstbewusster wirken zu lassen. Ihre ruhige, freundliche und entspannte Art sorgt dafür, dass das Fotografieren richtig Spaß macht. Man fühlt sich sofort wohl, und das spiegelt sich auch in den Ergebnissen wider. Viele Menschen haben mich bereits auf meine Fotos angesprochen und wollten wissen, wer sie gemacht hat — ich habe Elvinas Kontaktdaten gerne weitergegeben. Elvina geht auf jeden Wunsch ihrer Kunden ein und hört erst auf, wenn alles perfekt ist. Neben den beeindruckenden Fotos hat sie auch Videos für meine Social-Media-Kanäle erstellt, die einfach fantastisch geworden sind. Ich bin überaus zufrieden und dankbar, dass ich Elvina gefunden habe. Ihre Arbeit ist von Herzen gemacht, und das merkt man an jeder Aufnahme. Ich empfehle sie mit vollster Überzeugung weiter. Vielen lieben Dank, Elvina, und weiterhin viel Erfolg für deine wunderbare Arbeit!

Elvina is not only extremely professional but also incredibly easy to work with. Her eye for detail and creative ideas helped me — though I'm rather reserved — appear more confident in front of the camera. Her calm, friendly manner makes the whole process genuinely fun. Many people have already complimented my photos and asked who took them — I've happily passed on her details. She fulfils every client wish and doesn't stop until everything is perfect. She also created social media videos that turned out fantastic. Her work comes from the heart, and you can feel it in every shot.

My recent photo shooting session was an unforgettable experience, much of which I owe to our incredible photographer Elvina. Right from the outset, she exuded warmth and kindness, creating an atmosphere that was both fun and relaxed. Her words of encouragement truly resonated with me: 'Do what you do every day, and let it be natural.' This simple mantra helped dissipate my initial shyness. With each click of the camera, her supportive nature allowed my confidence to blossom. Throughout the session, it was evident that her approach wasn't just about capturing images but fostering genuine moments. Her skills went beyond the lens; she has the rare ability to instill confidence and make the entire process feel effortlessly authentic.

I really like the photos of myself made by Elvina: these are now my go-to choice for every social media website that demands them. Elvina has a unique non-intrusive way of guiding you while she does her job. This is in contrast to other photographers that force people to stand in a certain way and to look in a certain direction. With Elvina I feel like a co-creator of the photo, not like a piece of furniture. Finally, Elvina does a fantastic job in video editing. She brought a nice touch to the videos that she made for Staex. My favourite video is the 2023 retrospective that she assembled from the photos and videos that she and other team members made throughout the year. I highly recommend Elvina to anyone who wants to finally start liking their photos.

Instead of feeling nervous or scared, Elvina's kindness and warmth made me feel comfortable throughout the whole shooting process. Elvina showed me some of the photos during the shoot and helped me improve them as we went. Her specially curated Pinterest board helped me find dynamic poses and create new ideas. Not only did I leave the shoot that day with very professional photos, but a friend. Only a week later, Elvina sent me a link to the online portfolio with all of my photos — not only was it easy to access all your photos but to share them as well. Looking back, I am very happy with the whole experience and outcome of working with Elvina.

Эльвина, хочу искренне поблагодарить тебя за удивительные фотографии, которые полностью отражают мою любовь к профессии, к моему делу и к тем вещам, что делают меня счастливой. Каждая фотография — это маленькое волшебство, наполненное жизнью и теплом. Все мои сомнения, что снимки будут выглядеть слишком стандартно или бездушно, рассеялись в тот момент, как я их увидела. Спасибо за твоё мастерство и душевный подход. До новой встречи.

Elvina, I want to sincerely thank you for the amazing photos that fully reflect my love for my profession and the things that make me happy. Every photo is a small piece of magic, full of life and warmth. All my doubts that the shots would look too standard or soulless dissolved the moment I saw them. Thank you for your skill and heartfelt approach. Until we meet again.

Здравствуй, Эльвина! Вчера смотрела нашу фотосессию, до сих пор под впечатлением того дня! Ты молодец, что сделала нам такой сюрприз, это был настоящий праздник! Мне очень нравятся фотографии. Спасибо тебе огромное за классные, положительные эмоции! Если честно, мне было сначала страшно, а потом даже какой-то азарт появился. Хочется сделать альбом на память и, может быть, портреты.

Hi Elvina! I was looking through our photo session yesterday — I'm still under the impression of that day! You did a wonderful thing surprising us like that — it was a real celebration! I love the photos. Thank you so much for the wonderful, positive emotions! Honestly, I was scared at first, but then I got caught up in the excitement. I want to make a memory album and maybe some portraits.

Привет Ельвина, хочу поблагодарить тебя за твою работу! Фото получились великолепные, особенно исходя из наших условий по ограниченному пространству в мастерской. Благодарю за твое терпение, спокойствие и профессионализм, потому как работа с детьми требует выдержки. Особенно на исходе 2-го часа беспрерывного переодевания и нахождения в кадре… конечно же дети устают… и капризничают… ты сделала с ними отличную работу. Благодарю за быструю работу и с большим удовольствием поработаю с тобой и дальше. Успехов и процветания тебе, LILU Berlin KIDS.

Hi Elvina, I want to thank you for your work! The photos turned out magnificent, especially given the limited space in our workshop. Thank you for your patience, calmness, and professionalism — working with children requires real endurance. Especially towards the end of the 2nd hour of non-stop outfit changes and being in front of the camera — of course the children get tired and fussy — you did an excellent job with them. Thank you for the quick turnaround, and I'd love to work with you again.

My baby daughter and I had an incredible experience during this photoshoot with Elvina. We enjoyed the cozy atmosphere, Elvina's flexibility and creativity, which helped me to relax and savor this quality time with myself and my little one. I love the result we've got — a beautiful fusion of sensuality, passion and grace of all facets of womanhood. Thank you for these lifelong memories captured in the best way.
