There is a belief that every successful professional needs a bio written in the third person. Should you require my bio in the third person, it is on the very bottom of this page. But first of all, thank you so much for checking out my work! Please, let me know what you think about it. If you have any comments, suggestions or ideas on how we can work together, please, do not hesitate to reach out!
My name is Irina Logra. I’ve told stories from the moment I learned to speak. At first, most of them were fiction, but when life showed me how diverse and amusing it could be, I fell in love with editorial.
To see the big picture, sometimes we have to get as close as we can. Looking in our subject’s eyes, we also look through their eyes, understanding their emotions and how they see the world.
To get a complete story, I like to zoom out and see how our subjects interact with their environment, what surrounds them, what and who inspires them.
In preparation for such missions (and simultaneously cursed with perfectionism), I had to
-tame lighting,
-master composition in landscape and architecture photography,
-learn how different materials interact with each other and
-draw inspiration from the best visual creators on Earth, be it fellow humans or nature herself.
Only now, with all this knowledge and a team of reliable, exceptional professionals, am I allowed to work with you. It is a huge responsibility to be trusted with your project and it is unacceptable for us to let you down.

Should you require my bio in the third person, here it is
Irina Logra started her photography career in 2006, contributing as a freelancer to several lifestyle magazines while working full time in a marketing company. In Spring 2007, she started to work within the Marketing and Public Affairs Department on the International RT TV Channel, developing marketing strategies and serving as a photographer for department needs. After receiving the Promax Gold Award for best corporate souvenir and running advertising campaigns in the USA, Europe, and the Middle East, she decided to focus on her photography career and opened her own studio.
As an independent photographer, Irina has worked with numerous clients, including leading publishing houses, auction houses, and many well-known companies such as Raiffeisen, Jaguar Land Rover, Bosco, RUSAL and celebrities such as Michelle Kwan, Dolph Lundgren, Brian Tracy, and others. In addition to her photography career, she became a partner and creative director of a social media marketing company "SMMarketing," where she developed promotional campaigns for Kaspersky, Getwear, and Prestigio and collaborated with Mitsubishi, Renault, Cirque du Soleil, and other acclaimed companies.
Focusing on social media campaigns, Irina learned how precious the attention of the audience is nowadays. In each and every assignment she strives not only to take a high-quality immaculate picture but a captivating, eye-stopping photo that attracts the audience and sends the desired message. In 2016, Irina relocated her studio to Los Angeles, California. She is also available for projects worldwide.
