Sasha Goryaeva — Photographer
Sasha Goryaeva, Sydney photographer
The person behind the lens

Hi, I'm Sasha —
I photograph real moments,
not performed ones.

I'm a Sydney-based photographer working with couples, families and mothers-to-be. My style is quiet and a little cinematic: soft light, real closeness, almost no direction. I studied how light falls on skin and rooms before I studied cameras — the technical part came second.

Most of my sessions start with fifteen awkward minutes and end with people forgetting I'm holding a camera at all. That's usually when the best photos happen.

"The ordinary things we do on autopilot — a long hug, a long look — turn out to be the most photographable."

What it's like to work together

Working with Sasha felt like catching up with an old friend who happened to have a camera. We forgot we were being photographed within five minutes.

She has this quiet way of directing you without you ever noticing you're being directed. The photos looked like us on our best day, not a version of us.

I was nervous about maternity photos. Sasha made it feel completely natural — and the gallery she sent back made me cry, the good kind.
