Diana Rybakova
photographer

I am a photographer from Moscow, Russia. Since 2023, I have been living and working in Madrid and Barcelona, Spain.

I specialize in documentary and portrait photography, both in studio and on the streets.

Over the years, I have collaborated with Moscow theaters, Moscow-based media (primarily show business magazines), and the casting agency KINOLIFT (creating casting portfolios and video presentations).

I began my career as a concert photographer, with my work published in outlets such as Billboard Russia, Fuzz, Zvuki.ru, Prorap, and many others.

Since 2010, I have pursued film photography (analog photography) as a personal passion.

Today, I shoot with digital cameras.

For over 10 years, I photographed documentary reports on film for my personal archive, primarily in black and white, but also in color. Most of my work was done in black and white, capturing numerous travels across Europe and significant events in Russia. In recent years, however, all my reportage and studio photoshoots have been exclusively digital. My favorite film cameras are the Canon EOS Rebel and the Leica M6 with a Voigtländer 28mm lens.
