I'm not big on posed shots or forced smiles. Give me the genuine laugh between old friends, that second when someone completely loses themselves to the music, the quiet moment in the corner. Those are the shots that tell the real story. No fuss, no awkward posing, just authentic captures of people being themselves.
EXPLORE PORTFOLIOI describe my work as classic, intimate, documentary-style portraits and candids. I blend candid, photojournalistic shots with composed portraits for a timeless, emotional result. My focus is on the people - I shoot those who think they're "not photogenic." They're wrong and I'm good at proving it.
CONTACT MEHi, I'm Lana Dubkova. I'm obsessed with capturing those perfect in-between moments. Raised in NYC as a first-generation Russian-American, I found escapism in fantasy and imagination. I studied photography from high school through the School of Visual Arts and Drexel University. Given the opportunity, I always choose a timeless black and white photograph as homage to my many days in the darkroom.
