She draws her inspiration from art, music, architecture, and history. After visiting over 50 countries and being exposed to numerous cultures, Helena merged her traveling experience into her photographic approach: “Asia really taught me how to maneuver with color, how to stay simple and minimalistic in creating a complex perspective of each photograph. Europe embraced me with its history and fashion. Africa created a certain mystery and mysticism. South America empowered me with its free spirit and festivity.”
Helena has worked with numerous creatives in the past few years: from fashion designers to artists, from jewelry makers to sculptors. “There is nothing more rewarding than to see your clients succeed and make their dreams come true! Being surrounded by so many talents is truly empowering!” In 2023 she merges her company into commercial and industrial field and works closely with clothing and cosmetic brands in New York, Miami and New Jersey, offering variety of services from art direction, modeling casting, catalog building, cinematic videos for marketing purposes and commercial usage.
Helena Raju on Wedding Photography:
“I am passionate about the connection between two humans - their love and the story that has brought them to this moment.
I aim to create an editorial feel throughout all my work, wedding photography included. It is important to me that the photographs are effortless and elegant, as well as fun, current, and luxurious.
I transfer my knowledge from the world of fashion photography to create a truly unique sense of timelessness, beauty and presence.”
