About
My name is Iryna [Eereenah] Shostak and I am a wedding photographer providing dramatic portraits, real moments and classic storytelling in New Jersey area, also serving Philadelphia and New York.My passion for photography came as a surprise to me when in 2009 I was studying web design in Ukraine.I took a digital photography course, and I rented a camera because it seemed to me it only made sense to know photography well if I was going to be in web design, and I thought it might be a nice second income for me.When I find something that fascinates me, my heart and my mind catch fire. Photography was something I had always admired, but when I began to put the camera to my eyes and learned how to capture light, angles, and form, it was like unlocking a secret.In 2019 I won the first place in WPPI, which is one of the most popular and successful photography tradeshows available. My work was published in the magazine Rangefinder. I know that every element of your wedding was chosen with care, so I want to show the beauty in the fine details of your day. I carefully use lenses that will bring out the best angles of in the photos I take.I use telephoto lenses whenever possible for portraits to create dramatic backgrounds and I use macro lenses that show every facet of the ring. My experience as a teacher in Ukraine means that I know that the devil is in the details, so I am very organized in my approach to your day.I can wrangle big groups of people with ease, and I make sure no detail is missed!
