Welcome to the Photostrana.jp!

 

“What is a Photostrana?” – one may wonder…

 

PhotOstrAna – is an acronym, a shortened form of the web site’s owner’s occupation and name – Photographer Ostrovskaya Anastasiya.

 

Also in Russian “photostrana” means “a land of photography”, a land I hope to create here with you.

 

Now let me tell you about me.

 

My name is Ostrovskaya Anastasiya, and I am a Russian photographer living in Japan, Toyama prefecture, Toyama city.

 

I’ve been practicing photography for as long as I remember myself – I inherited this passion from my father.

 

But only a few years ago it finally became possible to turn a lifelong passion into profession. It has been a challenging, sometimes frustrating, but always incredibly interesting and revealing efficient journey. I grow professionally after every single session.

 

While I am still learning (there’s no limit to perfection), I am ready to offer my service of creating lasting memories!

 

What do I love about photography?

 

It gives me a chance to look through the lens and see not only people’s faces, but also their soul, their true self, the good and the bad in them, and ultimately – how beautiful they are.

 

And when I see it, I want to share it with the rest of the world and first of all – with the subjects themselves.

 

If you are interested in creating beautiful photo/video shoots that will always make you smile and become an important part of your very special family photo album – please contact me, and I’ll do my best as your photographer.
