Welcome!

My name is Margarita Kolesnikova and I work mainly in the genre of portrait, reportage and content photography. I also love street photography.

I photographed the awards ceremony of the St. Andrew Foundation headed by Vladimir Yakunin, contemporary dance programm “The Art of Contemporary Dance in Practice”, famous sound engineers, producers and musicians — Konstantin Matafonov (Black Star, L’One, ZOLOTO etc.), Roman Urazov (Rob Thomas, Manizha, Tesla Boy etc.), Sergey Nikolenko (Black Star, Jens & Toby Gad, etc.), “Pionerlager Pylnaya Raduga” band, dancer and choreographer Anastasia Medvedeva, violinist Yulia Simonova and many others.

My photos are used on the following websites:
“GODA” music label godamusic.ru/studio
“Musicheads” school of sound engineering and music production musicheads-pro.ru/matafonovrecord

I was also fortunate to work as an assistant to the famous German photographer Christian Schoppe (Dior, Karl Lagerfeld, Alanis Morissette, Paulo Nutini, RHCP etc.) We’ve created this project together: www.christianschoppe.com/reportage/moscow/

Education: “Frame Directing” course by Sasha Manovceva (photographer, lecturer at HSE, RANEPA)

I’ll be glad to document your events, make beautiful content for your website and socials, and I also will be happy to conduct a studio portrait shoot for you and your family.
