Photographer & Creative Designer
Charm of Valeria grew out of a quiet need to slow down and observe more closely.
While continuing my work as a creative designer at Mix Studio, portrait photography gradually became a more personal language, a way of staying with moments a little longer, of noticing what often goes unseen.
Charm of Valeria was born from this space.
The name comes from the valerian flower, known for its calming presence and quiet strength. Valeria is also a widely used female name across many cultures, and over time, it became a persona through which my photographic identity took shape, softer, more instinctive, and deeply personal.
Through this lens, photography became less about capturing and more about listening. About being present with people, their rhythms, their silences, their connection.
Charm of Valeria exists as a photography practice under Mix Studio, but lives in a different tempo.
Slower. Quieter. More intuitive.
