Hi!
I’m Anna Kondakova, a photographer based in Moscow. I have a knack for catching the brightest moments and genuine emotions, freezing them in time through photography.
I specialize in portrait, wedding, family, and other types of photoshoots. I’m not big on bragging, so I’ll let my portfolio do the talking!
Here you’ll find answers to your most important questions.
It’s our first photoshoot. What should we do?
I always guide you through the preparation process—from choosing the outfits and studio to helping you with posing during the session. I will also send over mood boards and references in advance so you can easily visualize the ideas.
How far in advance should I book a photoshoot?
The earlier you book, the more likely your preferred time will be available. For individual, family, and couple sessions, the optimal time to book is 14 days in advance. For wedding photography, it is best to book 1–1.5 months ahead.
How do I know how many hours to book for my photoshoot?
When it comes to studio sessions or couple shoots (Love Story), I usually recommend a 2-hour duration. For other types of photography, it all depends on your individual needs.
Is a deposit required?
Yes, a 25% deposit of your chosen package price is required. You can find more detailed information in the “Services” section.
From my experience, this is the best approach! It ensures that your preferred date and time are locked in for you, and it gives me confidence in your serious commitment to our photoshoot.
What is the turnaround time for the photos?
Within 7 to 14 days. During peak seasons or high workload, the delivery window may be extended by an additional 14 days, depending on your selected package.
How many photos will I receive?
You will get at least 60 custom color-graded images and 10+ deeply retouched photos, depending on your selected package.
How long do you keep the photos?
The photos will be available on the shared cloud drive for 4 weeks. After that, I back up and keep your photos in my personal archive for 6 months.
Will my photos be published anywhere?
Yes, they may be, unless we arrange otherwise in advance. I may use the photos in my portfolio on this website or share them on my social media. If you prefer to keep your session private, please let me know before the shoot.
Do you deliver the raw / unedited photos?
Yes, but for an additional fee. However, please note that even the unedited originals go through a careful culling process before delivery. I filter out duplicates, unflattering poses, blurry or out-of-focus shots, overexposed images, and awkward frames (like mid-blink or mid-motion captures).
