PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN SOUTH JORDAN, UTAH
PHOTOGRAPHER
LENA SHTATOLKINA
I believe everyone deserves to be seen in her full power and softness. Both can exist in one frame. Photography, for me, is not just art. It is transformation. A way of revealing the strength, emotion, and presence that already live inside you.
I create intentional, studio-based portraits and professional model tests designed with precision and care. Whether building a portfolio, celebrating a new chapter, or stepping into a new level of confidence, each session is guided with clarity, structure, and direction.
Shtatolkina Studio is based in South Jordan and serves the Salt Lake City area. Every shoot is thoughtfully styled, professionally lit, and refined through careful post-production. My approach blends elegance with control, softness with strength.
Let’s create something unforgettable.
Experience
With over 18 years of experience in graphic design, I developed a strong foundation in composition, color, and visual storytelling. That background naturally evolved into photography, where those same principles shape every frame I create.
For the past five years, I have worked as a product photographer while focusing deeply on studio portraiture and model testing. I specialize in controlled lighting environments and personally oversee all retouching, from RAW development in Capture One to refined finishing in Photoshop.
My work is influenced by editorial fashion, structured posing, and clean beauty aesthetics. I am drawn to imagery that feels confident, expressive, and intentional. Every session is collaborative, thoughtfully directed, and tailored to the individual in front of the camera.
I shoot in my private studio, fully equipped with seamless backdrops, styled elements, and professional lighting designed to produce consistent, high-quality results.
Let’s create something powerful.
