Ekaterina Kostromina: A good shoot feels like therapy for both of us.
My dad had a hobby of shooting on film, and when I was a child, we often sat together developing photos — it was so fascinating. I think that’s what planted the love for photography in me.


Eddy Ballardi: “Photography became my language for storytelling — a way to translate what I see and feel into something others can experience.”
What first drew me to photography was the magic of being able to freeze a feeling in time — that instant when light, emotion, and story align perfectly. I’ve always been fascinated by how a single image can speak louder than words, revealing the beauty, vulnerability, or power of a moment. Photography became my language for storytelling — a way to translate what I see and feel into something others can experience.
New York, for me, became more than just a backdrop; it’s a


Lynne Mills: When I started Girl Meets Brush back in 2015, it was just me with an idea and a passion for creating something I felt was missing in the market.
Honestly, it feels surreal — in the best way! When I started Girl Meets Brush back in 2015, it was just me with an idea and a passion for creating something I felt was missing in the market. To see how far it’s come — from our first brush set to a full professional range and thriving community — makes me so proud. It’s been an incredible journey, and the best part has definitely been watching our artists grow and seeing our products used everywhere from client work to backsta


Veronica Belli: In life there will always be obstacles to overcome, and the only thing to do is to continue to believe in what you want and give everything to make it possible.
Since I was a child, I have always been attracted to art, fashion, photography and reading. Everything that surrounds me was, and still is for me, a source of inspiration.
My course of study began in a professional tailoring school, which did not give me the results I hoped to obtain, however. For this reason, after a few years of working in a clothing boutique, I decided to continue my studies and specialize in fashion styling.


Mira Ben & Elena Beginina: We embrace change but remain authentic.
A Creative Duo that Radiates Light and Emotion
“We don’t just create looks — we reveal how beautiful people become when they stop pretending.”
About the Duo
A creative partnership built on trust, intuition, and a shared sense of beauty.
Together, they blend light, emotion, and sincerity — transforming every story into a living portrait. Their art is not about perfection; it’s about presence. Each frame reflects honesty, harmony, and the quiet strength of connection.


Melissa Alvarado Sierra: “The body remembers what the mind insists on forgetting.”
There’s a stillness to writer Melissa Alvarado Sierra, the kind that comes from having lived several lives and survived all of them. When she steps back in front of the camera, barefaced in jeans and a white shirt, it’s not a return to fashion so much as a return to a truer self. Once a model for Carolina Herrera, Peroni, and Jansport, Alvarado Sierra left the industry in 2010, disillusioned by its relentless choreography of perfection. Fourteen years, two cancers, and a long


Claudia Ciobanu: “Confidence, for me, is quiet strength, knowing who you are even when the world doubts you.
I’ve always been drawn to it. My love for fashion started since I was a little girl. I grew up in a big family with many cousins who often passed down their clothes to me, and I would spend hours styling outfits and changing looks. I loved creating little stories, imagining that I was a model walking on runways, or featuring in music videos. What began as a game slowly became a passion. Those playful moments were the foundation of my creative expression and eventually sparked


Aforlyn Unwuchola: I design from emotion first. I think about how a person feels before I think about what they wear.
Everytindemin started from a simple frustration. I loved fashion but found most brands out of reach, too expensive, too polished, and often disconnected from real people. I wanted to create something that felt personal and wearable without losing cultural depth. Nigerian fabrics like adire, asò oke and denim already tell strong stories. I just wanted to reframe those stories for a new audience. That’s how Everytindemin began: as an effort to make heritage modern and accessibl


inbal heffer: Handcraft isn’t just technique, it’s a way of thinking, feeling, and staying connected.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved working with art and craft. I spent years painting, dancing, and exploring different materials as a form of expression.
My first exposure to fashion came through my grandmother. Every time I visited her, the Fashion Channel was on, and she had stacks of Burda magazines I used to flip through. When I was ten, she taught me how to knit - and that opened a whole new world for me.


Veronika Walker: Beginnings do not define endings
I remember being both terrified and excited. I had no language, no home, and no real plan — but I had determination. Even in fear, I believed that if I kept moving forward, step by step, I could build a new life.


Amelie Trimpl: Kindness and clarity make the best work happen
I’ve always been fascinated by storytelling. As a child, I was captivated by musicals, the way they blended visuals, music, and emotion into something larger than life. When I first picked up a camera, I didn’t have a clear direction; I just practiced relentlessly, trying to capture what I felt rather than just what I saw. Over time, those experiments evolved into a defined style, cinematic, detailed, and emotionally grounded, though I still approach every project with the cu


Ildiko Sopronfalvi: I wanted to give up several times but I cannot live without photography. Without endurance and some obsession you cannot archieve it.
I began with landscape photography 5 years ago but people were missing from my photos. I met a lot of models, makeup artists, singers, and stylists in the photography school where I studied photo design. I began to organize photo shooting and to work with people in the team. From my main job I have learned organizing because I am a project manager in the building industry. As a photographer, you should know how to lead the team how to handle people and sometimes you have to p


Veronica Belli: my biggest ambition is to tell something through my projects.

Consuelo Rinaldi: Consuelo will never abandon her elegant, refi¬ned, but also a little spicy and dynamic style. Fashion is the best art form of expression.
’m Consuelo, I’m 21 and at the moment I am attending the fashion and communication academy ‘Moodart Fashion School’ in Verona. I have always had this passion; in fact, my grandmother passed it to me when I was 6, through her sewing machine. At the age of 18, I moved to Mantua to ¬finish my fashion and design studies and after graduation, I chose to deepen this my passion. I have always been a determined and curious girl and thanks to this academy, I have known my style and my


Olesya Salomatina: I want to prove to people that fashion is not a surface industry.
I began as a personal stylist: I went shopping with clients and gave advice about personal style. But then I understood, that photography is one of the most interesting ways of realization. So I began to organize photoshoots and met a lot of talented photographers and makeup artists.
