Vera Varley Photography

Vera Varley Photography Head-shots and portraits that capture people's personality My name is Vera Varley. I am fashion and editorial photographer.

I am passionate with arts, different cultures and inspired by people. I try to answer as precisely as I can the needs of my clients. In my work I like to incorporate storytelling, graphical elements and play of light and shadow. I draw my creative energy from art books, design magazines, paintings, theatre, films with happy endings and just everyday life. I first fell in love with photography at t

he age of twelve, when my older brother showed me how to develop black and white film. It felt like I was a part of the secret magical universe. But it was not until much later in life, after lots of experimenting, photography classes and practice, that I decided to pursue photography as my full time career. Like any art project, a photo shoot requires lots of planning and preparation. It starts with a great idea, sketches and mood boards. Then there is a special recipe: a nice background, original props, unusual decorations, crazy outfits, fantastic make-up, gorgeous hair and beautiful lighting. But the main ingredient is the model that takes center stage and fills the frame with her strong presence. I am equally excited to be shooting in the studio or on location. In studio I often paint my backgrounds and build my own props. Everything is important in an image: from composition and color to the expression of the model. Every photograph should be a piece of fine art. Speaking English, French and Russian I am an international fashion photographer with a dream to share my creative adventure with likeminded passionate individuals. Take some time to browse over the portfolio section and contact me with your idea!

Alice in wonderland

One of my most favorite photoshoot. It took many days of preparation and prop building.

Mushroom and giant cup from paper-machee, a small room from the cartoon box and a real furry rabbit )

AND MORE OF THE GORGEOUS LOCATION!!!!

I’m just so exited about this place. When I first saw it I thought to myself:
It can’t be real!

An 18th century vibe and so many different set ups and rooms to take photos in.

I think I found a real gem for Vogue Style editorial portraits!

DM me if you want to schedule your photo-session in this place! ;)

WHY I CHOOSE PRINTS OVER DIGITAL PHOTOS

A beauty photoshoot is not only a wonderful experience full of emotions but it’s also a lot of work and preparation behind the scenes.

Creating mood boards, choosing outfits outfits, preparing make-up and hair, as well as posing and feeling the moment during the actual shoot. A photoshoot is a the celebration of love, connection to yourself and your beauty.

We work so hard to capture gorgeous moments and expressions. When we dive into the feminine energy and connection to our inner Goddess, we never want to forget how we felt. 👍🏻

If most of these photos will end up on a hard drive of our computers or in internet clouds... they are forgotten. ☹️

I’d like those photos to become visual mood boards that remind the girls every day how incredibly beautiful they are.
I want to see women value themselves through photographs. I’d like them to have these moments up on the wall, on the coffee table in an album or in a beautiful box as a keepsake for generations to come. 😍

These photos will be priceless one day. This is why I chose to offer the most exquisite form of presentation for your photos.

I believe that the combination of fine Italian craftsmanship and beautifully executed portraits displayed in your home can brighten every single day. 🤩

They will be a lifetime reminder of your feminine power and they will always take you back so that you would never forget about it. 💫

HOW LONG WILL THE PHOTOSHOOT TAKE?

First our make-up and hair stylist will work on your make-up and hair. It takes about one hour or a little more depending on the length of your hair and the style we choose. 😍

Our make-up artist does magic. She will create something really special for you, something that underlines your beauty, makes your eyes bright, makes your lips beautiful. 🔥

When you look at yourself in the mirror you go like “WOW!!!”. From that moment you have a new persecution of yourself.
The feminine energy starts to flow by itself when you look gorgeous. 💯

You think “Yeas, I’m the queen and I can do it”. It’s incredible how the right make-up and hair can change the way the woman feels about herself, the way she moves, the way she acts.
That first look in the mirror is one of my favourite moments of the photoshoot.💖

The photoshoot itself usually lasts about 1 to 2 hours. And that’s the fun part. We get to see the beautiful Goddess in action!  Don’t worry! I will guide you through all the steps of the shoot :)

We dance, we chat, we play out different scenarios, we move, we jump, we just have a really good time. 💃

If you want to experience that magic, feel free to contact me in the DM

Have you ever tried to model?

What about being photographed in a gorgeous location that looks like a fairy tale?

I’m looking at my archives from years back and found this photoshoot that I’ve done for

Back in the days I came across an old vintage store on the island of Ille Perrot. It was was filled with a unique and absolutely magical spirit, not to mention lots of amazing props to play with. Wonderful place rich in texture, color and atmosphere! Unfortunately It doesn’t exist anymore.

But surprise surprise!!!!! I recently discovered a similar place in Montreal that is open to collaborate for the photo shoots!!!

Send me a DM if you’d like to have a portrait session with this beautiful vintage feel!
