About Me — Vova Khomenko Photography
Hi, I’m Vova Khomenko, a Warsaw‑based portrait photographer specializing in headshots, business portraits, and authentic portraits for individuals, entrepreneurs, and teams. My work blends artistry and craftsmanship to create images that feel honest, confident, and unmistakably you.
Motto: “Crafting authentic portraits that reveal your true self.”
Mission: Blend art and craft to help you reveal your authentic self through honest, empowering portraits.
Vision: A world where everyone has a portrait they genuinely love because it reflects who they are.
I fell in love with photography as a teenager, carrying a camera on travels and learning to notice people, light, and small, unrepeatable moments. What began as a hobby became a commitment: hundreds of hours studying, practicing, and refining - online and offline courses, countless sessions, and a growing body of work that moved from simple documentation to crafted portraiture.
Alongside the art, I’m also an engineer by training (BSc Aeronautical & Space Engineering, MSc Advanced Robotics). That background gives me a calm, technical confidence with cameras, lenses, and lighting - natural light or studio strobes. I photograph with a full‑frame mirrorless system in my home studio in Warsaw, Wesoła, and on location across Warsaw and beyond for branding sessions, executive headshots, and team portraits.
One session early on changed everything. We were reviewing the shots; she went quiet, eyes a little wet.
“I didn’t know how beautiful I am.”
That line stayed with me. Portraits don’t invent people - they reveal them. Since then, my aim has been simple: to craft portraits that help you see and believe your own strength, dignity, and presence - whether it’s a LinkedIn headshot, a business portrait, or an authentic storytelling session outdoors.
What guides me is straightforward:
Real expression over performance. You’ll feel directed, not stiff; seen, not staged.
Present‑moment beauty. We shape light and space around your real energy - here and now.
Co‑creation and care. A safe, collaborative atmosphere so confidence can surface.
Honest retouching. Clean, professional results without plastic skin or false personas.
Beyond the camera, I host a small Creative Wellbeing community on Skool - movement, mindfulness, and everyday creativity as fuel for art and life. It keeps me grounded and attentive, so I bring calm focus and real presence to every session. It’s not a separate business; it’s the values that support my photography.
If what you want is a portrait that looks like you - clear, confident, and alive - I’d be honored to collaborate.
