Bio
Elena Kulikova Photographer
Hi! I’m Elena, currently living in Los Angeles, with two kitties, amidst beautiful tall palm trees. I was introduced to photography when I began modeling at 18, and immediately gravitated toward being on the other side of the lens, where I truly found my passion. As a visual artist, I have worn many hats during my career, from styling, to production, to art direction, and directing. Much of my inspiration comes from my love for all things found in nature, especially flowers. After studying biology in Vancouver, I moved to Amsterdam, where I perfected the art of balancing multiple bags of groceries while riding a bicycle. This is where I continued to hone my craft as a photographer. Modeling provided an opportunity for me to travel throughout the EU, and presented the chance to assist Craig McDean in Paris. After departing Amsterdam, I landed beneath the rainbows of Hawaii where I learned to wield a machete to open fresh coconuts, and scuba dive with sea turtles. Happy to call Los Angeles my home for now, I would love to help your creative vision come to reality.
Current clients include Sephora, Foria, Ole Henriksen, Pepsi, Urban Outfitters, Nordstrom, BeautyCounter, Prima, MedMen, Interscope Records, Vice, and many other brands & musicians.
