Irushka Photography

I’m Iryna, the photographer behind Irushka Photography in Cambridge. My work is rooted in a single belief: portraits should reveal the quiet power, dignity and inner light of the person before my lens. As a specialist in portrait photography, I focus on creating cinematic, honest images that celebrate women—their strength, vulnerability and the stories that make them who they are. My signature project, "Portrait of Her", sets the tone for everything I do. It’s not about fashion or trends; it’s about presence. I approach each session like a collaboration: we talk first, build a mood board together, and shape a session that feels authentic to you. That collaborative preparation helps even camera-shy clients feel seen and relaxed, so the photographs reflect real emotion rather than forced poses. On set I aim for a calm, confident atmosphere. Whether we work in my studio or at a curated location, I use light, composition and subtle direction to create timeless portraits that feel cinematic and personal. For clients who want to present a professional image, I also create polished business portraits and headshots—ideal for LinkedIn, portfolios or personal branding—while keeping portraiture as my primary focus and heart. I also offer tailored sessions within projects like "Her Love" for dating-profile portraits and "Her Brand" for creatives and performers who want visual storytelling that aligns with their work. Maternity and art portrait work appear in my portfolio as expressions of the same philosophy: helping women feel beautiful, confident and fully themselves in each image. Working with me is a gentle, purposeful process. I provide styling advice, and can help arrange makeup and hairstyling if desired; the aim is always to make you comfortable and empowered. The result is a collection of portraits—studio or editorial in feel—that you will return to again and again. If you’re in Cambridge or nearby and want a portrait that honours your presence and personality, Irushka Photography offers a thoughtful, specialist approach that puts you at the centre of the story.
