Hello, 

my name is Lera and I have a dog, his name is Yuchi. He is a mixed-breed dog (part mutt, part dachshund) who had a big influence on my animal photography career. He loves being photographed — probably because he gets paid a very good salary in edible currency. Below are photos published in Photo Vogue. Yuchi is in the center 🤓 By the way, he loves dogs and would probably approve of what I do.

During shoots I pay close attention to the dog’s comfort. I’ve also studied a bit of animal psychology. Besides pets and photo/video shoots, I also love reading, nature, and the Netherlands. I also shoot street photography and share it on Instagram. 

I was born in Russia and fully moved to the Netherlands in 2024. Now I live in Gouda with my partner Roel and Yuchi. I also teach my native language online as a foreign language. I enjoy meeting and talking to people from all over the world, and I would be very happy to get to know you too.

Met vriendelijke groet,
Lera (and Yuchi)
