Hello, and welcome!

I’m Yana Northen, a photographer driven by my love for nature and people.

My work is inspired by the world around me—from serene landscapes to the heartfelt stories of those I meet.

Nature gives me calm and strength, fuelling my creativity and grounding me.

I believe that each person carries a unique story, and I’m grateful for the ones that stay with me and shape my vision.

As a creator and listener, I’m here to capture and celebrate those moments that move us.

Let’s connect and explore the beauty around us together.

My journey began in a small town in Siberia, Russia. 

Now, I live in the peaceful countryside near Worcester, UK, where I’m a proud grandmother to two wonderful grandchildren.

Photography has become my way of telling my family’s story, and over the years, this passion has grown.

I now work with other families to create cherished memories, capturing photographs that resonate across generations.

Through my lens, I celebrate the beauty in everyday life, infusing each image with warmth, joy, and a sense of possibility.

My portfolio reflects a wide range of interests, including landscapes, wildlife, street scenes, flowers, and the art of Intentional Camera Movement (ICM).

Photography allows me to fulfill a childhood dream of painting, using my camera as a brush to express the colors, contrasts, and harmonies I see in the world around me.

Nature has inspired me throughout my life; it gives me strength, power, and helps me understand myself.
