Irina Adamenko

I'm Irina, a family and maternity photographer in Lyon. I also photograph weddings, throughout France.

I'm Ukrainian; I settled in Lyon with my family. A lawyer by training, I came to photography almost by chance, and then I couldn't do without it.

I'm a mother of three. The days with little ones, the bursts of laughter and the surprises: I know them well, and that's often where the most beautiful images are hiding.

I love to photograph life as it is. With me, no fixed stare at the lens: I guide you with a few simple gestures, then I step back. What interests me is the real moments: a smile, a hug, a game, the small rituals of everyday life.

At heart, my work is to give you these moments back the way you lived them: gentle, honest images, made to live with you and to be passed on.
