Welcome to my website! This is a place where we can get to know each other better. Here you can view my portfolio, learn about collaboration details, and find answers to the most common questions.
about me
My name is Natalia Mershina, and I am a photographer based in Novovoronezh, Voronezh Region.
My journey in photography began in 2009, and since 2024, it has become my dedicated creative profession. I shoot in natural urban locations and interiors, relying on available light and the unique ambiance of each place. A set of lenses for different tasks helps me achieve this.
My creativity is fueled by three main sources: cinema, where I study light and composition; neurophysiology, which helps me understand the nature of emotions; and long walks, where I learn to be present in the 'here and now.'
I believe that every person, like every event, is a unique story worth telling. I see my role as a photographer as helping such a story reveal itself. And black-and-white aesthetics allow us to focus on what’s essential: sincere emotions and the timeless beauty of the moment.

F.A.Q.
How to book a photoshoot?
Just get in touch with me! We’ll start by discussing your ideas, align all the details, and choose a convenient date. The booking is confirmed only after your final approval.
Do you work with a contract?
I can prepare a formal paper contract, or we can agree on all terms via correspondence — whichever you prefer.
How to pay?
Right after the shoot, via bank transfer or cash. After payment, I’ll send you an electronic payment receipt.
How to reschedule or cancel a shoot?
I value both your time and mine, and I count on mutual respect. If you notify me at least 24 hours in advance, we can calmly cancel the session or reschedule it for another date. If you communicate your intention on the same day, I will unfortunately have to request a prepayment for our next session.
What should I do if I’m running late?
Please just let me know as soon as possible! Then we can adjust the schedule. If I don’t receive a message from you and the waiting time exceeds 15 minutes, I will consider the session canceled.
Can I choose not to be published in your portfolio?
I always ask for consent before publishing and I’m ready to discuss which shots should not be posted. So just let me know — I completely understand the desire to keep photos only for a personal archive. To replenish my portfolio, I periodically conduct separate free photoshoots, which I announce on my social media.

Могу рекомендовать Наталью как чуткого и ответственного профессионала своего дела. А ещё она приятный в общении человек, считаю это важным качеством для фотографа, съемки прошли легко и непринужденно. Фотографировались вместе с маленькой дочкой, в итоге у нас есть чудесные теплые кадры такого скоротечного периода жизни.
Натали
Люблю фото Наташи, люблю себя в ее фото, люблю ее саму. Настолько комфортно бывает во время фотосессии, что просто забываешь обо всем, это буквально приятная прогулка или посиделки с подругой, но самое важное, что я больше не говорю про себя "не фотогиничная"
Бесконечное спасибо за фото
Евгения
Вторая фотосессия - и снова в самое сердечко! Не знаю, как Наталья это делает, но моменты в кадре - умопомрачительные. Как будто смотрит в объектив, а видит тебя насквозь. Не просто фото - у неё получается передать настроение, эмоцию, ощущения и чувства. Брависсимо, мой дорогой друг, и огромное спасибо ♥️
