True Color Story

Natural, timeless photography focused on people, movement, and real moments.

Maria Tretiakova

Portrait photographer based in London

My work is shaped by real life, honest moments, and the energy of the city around us. I shoot with Fujifilm film simulations and use light, tonal editing to keep every image feeling natural, consistent, and timeless - nothing overly processed, just beautifully true to the moment.

I’m drawn to:

• Genuine expressions that feel lived‑in, not posed

• Movement, connection, and subtle storytelling

• Minimal, natural editing that preserves real tones and atmosphere.

 

Advanced retouching is available on request, but not included by default - I prefer to let your natural features and the mood of the day shine through.
