Hello my dear guest and welcome to my website.

Hello and welcome! I’m Irina Santos, a Perth-based photographer. My journey into photography wasn’t a straight path — I’ve been a chemical engineer, a bespoke bag maker, and even an entrepreneur running my own business. But through it all, one thing remained constant: my love for details, learning, creating, and understanding how things work.

Photography found me unexpectedly. It started with an old Singer sewing machine, a passion for craftsmanship, and a desire to showcase my handmade leather bags online. The more I photographed my work, the more I fell in love with the art of visual storytelling. By 2019, I had bought my first professional camera, simply wanting to document the world around me — Australia’s stunning landscapes, wildlife, my daughter, and occasionally helping my friends with their business pages.

What began as a personal passion soon turned into something more. I realized that photography wasn’t just about taking pictures; it was about expressing emotion, telling a story, and experimenting with different techniques to achieve unique and captivating results. I love pushing creative boundaries — whether it’s through lighting, composition, or post-processing in Lightroom and Photoshop. Editing is where I refine my vision, adding depth and character to every image.

Now, I specialise in Lifestyle, Business and Art photography, working closely with people to create images that capture their strength, confidence, and individuality. I believe photography should be an experience — one where my clients feel confident, empowered, and truly seen.

Thank you for stopping by. I’d love to collaborate and bring your vision to life!

Yours sincerely,

Irina
