  Yuliya’s workshop was engaging and informative. If you’re interested in editorial boudoir and fine art nude photography, this is the perfect fit for you.

  I recently had the privilege of attending the Orlando workshop, and to say that it was an eye-opening experience would be an understatement. Boudoir/bodyscape photography is way outside my comfort zone, and indeed something I have never tried - but Yuliya’s expert guidance and incredible way of teaching made me feel it was something I could do. After two days of working with her, and with loads of tech advice and behind-the-scenes information provided by her husband Eliar, I have truly had my eyes opened to how magical this art form is - and how much there is to still learn. We all have our individual niches and areas we are comfortable in as photographers - Yuliya and Eliar are masters of turning wonderful subjects/models into living works of art. Thank you both for your patience with me and for teaching me absolutely priceless skills that I look forward to continuing to develop. Confidence in directing a shoot and posing, light and shadow manipulation, camaraderie, and stunning results were just a few of my takeaways. You two are the best!

  I attended the Orlando workshop hoping to improve my posing. I was not disappointed. Yuliya demonstrated every minute detail in a way that was easy to understand. When we were posing each other it was amazing to see the difference when she tweaked what we did. If you are looking to improve your boudoir posing, or any genre, this is the one. Aside from the workshop they are also great hosts. I learned much and enjoyed every minute!

  I had the pleasure of meeting Yuliya and joining her course, and it has been an incredible experience. She has a true gift for bringing creative visions to life, and her guidance has helped me refine my ideas in ways I never imagined. Working with her is not only inspiring but also deeply valuable. Our monthly meetings provide ongoing support, fresh insights, and practical strategies that continue to elevate my work. Yuliya is a wonderful mentor, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to grow and succeed in boudoir photography.

  Not only do I have access to the Believe in Boudoir online courses, which are fantastic, but I chose to do a 1:1 workshop with Yuliya in her studio. I cannot say enough great things about the experience. From the initial zoom call to get an overview of my needs, all the way through to the models that I photographed and the skills we covered, everything was customized. We spent the morning working on a posing flow that I can easily take back to my studio and looking at lighting set ups I can use. Since I was driving to her, Yuliya suggested that I bring my lights and modifiers to make sure I can recreate everything we covered without feeling like I have to buy a ton of new equipment. Yuliya worked with me on a plan that I can apply to the space that I have so the images I left with are easy for me to be able to recreate for my clients. If you have the chance to do a group or a 1:1 workshop with Yuliya, I highly recommend it. The amount of information she shared (she held nothing back) was worth every penny and more. Editing to add - I had such a great experience with my 1:1 workshop that I went back again to do a group workshop and that was fantastic too!
