Nice to meet you

Diana Perova

A photographer who cares less about perfect poses and more about the person in front of the lens.

What to wear for your Porto photoshoot

I’m Diana Perova , a photographer based in Porto, Portugal. I photograph people — portraits, couples, families and weddings — in the soft Atlantic light this city is so generous with.

Most of my clients have never worked with a photographer before, and that’s exactly the point. Half of my craft is photography; the other half is making an hour together feel easy, so you forget the camera is even there.

I travel for the stories worth telling — from a quiet portrait walk in Porto to a wedding on the other side of the map.

How I work

A shoot with me feels less like a photo session and more like a slow walk with a good conversation.

I take care of the rest — the route, the light, the timing, and what to do with your hands. You just show up.
