Your stories, your feelings, they're the most important to me.
— Irina Kupriienko
Hey, I’m Irina, but you can call me Iri.
I’m a 28-year-old photographer based in the Manchester area. I’m passionate about capturing the unique stories and genuine emotions that make each moment special. Can’t wait to help you tell yours!
In my work, I focus on you. Your stories, your feelings, they're the most important. I'm here to make sure that the moments you care about are kept safe in pictures. Whether it's the fun times with family or the hugs from friends, I want to capture the happiness and love you feel. So, when you look back at your photos, you can remember those special moments and feel them again.
I'm originally from Ukraine, and photography has always been my biggest passion. It started with just snapping candid shots of my family and friends, but that ignited a fire in me to dive deeper into photography.
About five years ago, I took a leap and became a photographer on a cruise ship in the USA. It was an incredible journey! One time, during a break, I ended up in Mexico, where I captured the most amazing moments - from breathtaking sunsets to heartwarming smiles of people from different parts if the world.
Life had a beautiful surprise in store for me when I met my soulmate during my adventures. Together, we chose to make England our home, settling in the Bolton-Manchester area, where I continue to pursue my passion for photography...
One time, I came across this saying:
"If you don't think photos are important, wait until they are all you have."
This deeply touched me because, in my life, I lost one of the most important people to me. Back then, when I was taking photos of my grandparents, I didn’t think much of it. But now, those photos have become some of my most treasured possessions. They are all that’s left—a faded memory of every moment we shared together. Looking back at those photos, I truly appreciate that we captured those moments when we did. That’s why I genuinely understand how important it is to everyone. Photos are something I deeply believe in because, as time passes and memories fade, they let us relive those moments again and again.
