ANNA CHEKRYSHOVA
contemporary portrait artist
Estonia
Hi, I’m Anna, a contemporary portrait artist of feminine portraiture.
I create portraits that go beyond documentation - images that feel remembered, and worth returning to.
I’m interested in the moment when performance disappears, and something more real begins to surface.
My work explores womanhood, identity, emotional presence, and the quiet tension between softness and restraint.
I offer two types of sessions:
Honest Portraits - minimal, intimate portraits focused on natural presence rather than perfection.
Conceptual Portraits - cinematic and emotionally driven sessions created as visual pieces meant to exist beyond the screen.
Additionally, I also offer photography mentoring services.
Selected publications include Vigour Magazine and Artells.
A lot of mainstream photographers seem not to think about what they’re doing or feel any responsibility toward anything. By the time they’re done, the models don’t have any trace of themselves left. This thing about looking young with no wrinkles or expression is all so boring, really.
