Professional growth

  About yourself and your professional growth

My name is Svetlana Kornelyuk, I live in Yekaterinburg, I have been doing photography for more than ten years.  It’s not just a job—it’s my way of seeing the world, communicating, and telling stories. Over the years, the main creative directions have developed: I am seriously engaged in portrait and Fine Art photography, and I also really like traveling and landscape photography, which gives inspiration and new impressions.

Professional Association Memberships  

Recognition from colleagues is an important part of professional growth. I am a member of several respected photographic organizations: 

• IAAP (International Association of Art Photographers) — Member and Virtuoso IAAP title (2025), 
  
• ICAP (International Club of Art Photographers)- Club Member
• Association of Photographers “Eurasia” —Association Member

Education and Professional Development  

  I believe a photographer never stops learning. I constantly improve my skills, take courses, and attend workshops with the best specialists. Here are the key milestones of my professional education:

  Every new course, every workshop brings not only new techniques but also a fresh perspective, new ideas that I later bring to life in my work. I bring all of this to my client sessions, so your photos are not just high-quality, but truly artistic and meaningful.
