Hello! My name is Vjatseslav — Slavik for short. I’m from Estonia and I’ve been living in Finland for over 15 years, and since 2015 in Las Palmas in Gran Canaria.Even though I’m a professional local photographer, I’m constantly studying for more. One can always learn something new in this industry. Technology keeps on developing and new photo editing possibilities emerge all the time. Photography trends keep on changing. The wishes and needs of customers are changing. One can always improve their visual eye. This is why I go to photography courses regularly. Lifestyle photos for you!
I speak Estonian, Russian, Finnish, Spanish, and English.
Portrait photos
In individual photos, portrait photography, you don’t need to be nervous either. Incase you’re not used to being in photo shoot, it is not a problem. I strive to find the angles and positions suitable just for you. Book a personal photo session.
Love story couples — pictures
Love story photo sessions are similar to wedding photography, but more relaxed and free-form. There are no wedding dresses, no pressure, and no stress — just real emotions and natural moments.
It’s a visual story of love told through the camera, capturing genuine connections, happiness, and the beauty of two people in love.

Individual sports enthusiasts also enjoy having dynamic, sports-style portraits that reflect their passion, strength, and personality.

What do I take photos of?
In photography — and in portrait photography alone — there are many styles and genres. For example: headshots, fashion photography, maternity photography, child photography, wedding photo shoots, couple sessions, family photography, and beauty photography, etc. All of these require a different set of skills from the photographer.
Sure, I take all kinds of pictures, but my specialties are portraits, maternity photography, couple photos (Love Story), wedding photos, and family photos.
What is required from a photographer?
Photography is — first of all — documentation, but an art form as well. Professional photographer, with a professional camera, should be able to do more than just set the camera settings right and click the shutter release button. In portrait photography the subject usually wants to look their best. So it’s not enough that the picture is technically successful. Facial expressions, gestures and posture have to be perfect as well. Also the photographer should keep an eye out for clothes, make-up, hair, etc. which have to look good during the photography.
In the case of portrait photography, social skills are also required from the photographer. It is important, that the subject feels comfortable and enjoys being in front of the camera. And, of course, listen to the wishes of the customer before the photo session. What do they want? What kind of photos they need?
Skin defects, obtrusive details in the background and the hue of the photos can be edited with good photo editing software. All of this takes time and skill, so that the final photo looks natural and balanced.
The model as the star. Setting creates the atmosphere.
Even though the background is people, the main subject of the photos is always the people. Mellow and warm atmosphere of the Canary creates a perfect setting for this. Weather conditions in the Canary Islands are usually always the best for photography. It is bright and sunny all year round. It’s green during all seasons. Location Canarian sunset in the can be stunningly beautiful, which is an amazing background for photography.
Las Palmas and Gran Canaria
Las Palmas has really beautiful places for glorious portraits, couple photos and any kinds of photos of people. For example the beach of Las Canteras during sunset. The park of Parque Doramas with its floral splendor. The rose flores of Castillo de La Luz. Atmospheric streets of the Old Town. The heart-shaped in the Southern part of Anfi del Mari, amongst others. The dunes of Maspalomas. Agaete and the coffee farms in the North. Here are a few excellent photography settings.

Photo shoot in hotel area Gran Canaria
Photographing hotel guests, both inside and outside of hotels, is something I’ve done extensively. Paradisus by Meliá, Anfi del Mar, Bull Hotels, RIU, Lopesan Group and Santa Catalina, a Royal Hideaway Hotel, are just a few of the famous hotel chains where my client hired me. I have experience shooting in a variety of settings, including elegant indoor settings and stunning outdoor backdrops, and am thus aware of the processes involved.
Meloneras Hotels are ideal for engagement and honeymoon post-wedding photoshoots in Gran Canaria, especially with local photographer Slavik.
