SF Photo Tours
My name is Svitlana, and I am your San Francisco photographer and tour guide. I am an observer and aesthete, that finds beauty in everything. Around here every local street, architectural wonder, or scenic lookout is fascinating, and my goal is not only to share it with you, but to capture the beauty of your experience in photographs.
I specialize in portrait and fashion photography, and I have been practicing it for the past five years, so I know how to make you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
Welcome
Today, I am a full-time graphic production artist for one of the tech giants in Silicon Valley, as well as an independent photographer and a tour guide. I love the diversity of the Bay Area, and I look forward to sharing it with you!
See you soon,
Svitlana
Striving for constant learning and creating led me to Miami Ad School. The best advertising agencies, such as Geometry Global (Germany) and Cramer-Krasselt(Chicago), became my classrooms while I interned — polishing my skills and my taste throughout those years.
To challenge myself to shoot more, I created an experience called “Feel Like Insta Model Photoshoot” on Airbnb. And now I am confident with a camera in any setting.

My sense of fashion and style developed when I worked as a Visual Manager in Hollister(Panama City), Stylist at Gap(Miami) and Women’s Product Lead in Banana Republic Flagship store (San Francisco). With more than four years in retail management I mastered leadership skills, teamwork, customer service, styling and learned how to fold shirts the quickest and the prettiest way.

I was born in Ukraine, and as a curious child with love for exploration and foreign languages, received a degree in Tourism Management. During summers, I enjoyed the sun as a tour guide in Turkey and Poland, and during winters I fought cold on the ski resort in Ukraine. Right after my graduation I won a green card and moved to America.
