PHOTO DAY: Fashion, Paper, and an Icy Gaze

When fashion turns into art and simple materials transform into haute couture, the result is a shot you can’t ignore. Yulia Lutsenko isn’t just a model—she’s an image designed for the cover. And that’s not a metaphor—her face is already on dozens of glossy magazines.

Blue eyes, blue lips, black paper turned sapphire under the play of light and shadow. Sharp lines, purity, fragility, and power—all in one frame. Minimalism? Maybe. But this is where real fashion is born. Wrapped in paper, Yulia looks like she just stepped off the runway of Avant-Garde Fashion Week. Her collarbones? A masterpiece on their own—a simple detail that makes the shot unforgettable.

📸 Fashion that demands attention

No loud logos, no overdone styling—just raw, striking presence. A gaze that doesn’t just look—it speaks. It demands attention. And it gets it.

Yulia on dozens of covers? Of course. Something like this was bound to be published.

This is how our photo days go—bold, daring, unforgettable.

A Photoshoot Is Not Just About You—It’s About Everyone Who Sees Your Photos

People book photoshoots for different reasons. Some want to capture a moment for themselves, some want to make a statement, some need a portfolio, and some just want to freeze time. But here’s the secret: a photoshoot is not just about you. It’s about everyone who will see these photos.

📸 What Will Your Photo Say About You?

A photograph is a language without words. It speaks for you long before you even say a thing. It conveys your power, sensuality, and charisma. It shapes first impressions, sets the tone, and becomes your silent representative in the world.

💥 Why Does It Matter How You Look in Photos?

Because your photos work even when you’re asleep. They appear in feeds, in magazines, on websites, in portfolios, and in the eyes of those making decisions. Your photo can spark admiration, create intrigue, and make someone want to know you better.

🔥 A Photoshoot Creates an Impact That Lasts Longer Than the Session Itself

• Your photos can inspire others.

• They can change the way people perceive you.

• They can stay in someone’s mind forever.

So yes, a photoshoot is about you. But also about everyone who will see the result. Make sure your photos say exactly what you want them to.

What is the most important accessory on set, according to Natalia Mailis?

When people prepare for a photoshoot, they think about details: outfits, jewelry, shoes, makeup. All of this matters, but there is one accessory you can’t buy in a boutique, can’t match to your style, and can’t take off after the shoot. Your eyes.

Yes, the gaze is what brings a photo to life, makes it captivating, and forces people to stop and stare. Luxury accessories can highlight status, the perfect outfit can scream style, but if the eyes are empty, the photo remains just a pretty picture.

📸 Your eyes create the magic of the shot

Soft and dreamy? Bold and powerful? Seductive? Or the kind that pierces straight through the soul? The same outfit can look entirely different depending on the gaze. That’s why the best photographers don’t just work with poses—they work with the energy of the model.

Why are the eyes the most powerful tool in a photoshoot?

Because they tell a story. Think of the most iconic images in history—everything is in the eyes. The camera captures more than just your appearance; it captures your energy, your essence, your emotions.

🖤 How to unlock the power of your gaze?

• Relax and live in the moment instead of trying to look “perfect.”

• Don’t be afraid of emotions—your eyes should speak.

• Trust the photographer—I will help you find the right mood and capture that unforgettable shot.

So if you think the most important part of a shoot is brands and accessories, think again. True magic is in the eyes.

A Photoshoot and Magazine Feature: Your Ticket to a New Reality

I’m Natalia Mailis, photographer and founder of the Mailis photo studio, and every day I witness how photoshoots transform people. Some come to me just for beautiful pictures, but they leave as a new version of themselves—more confident, radiant, and free. And when those images get published in magazines, everything shifts to a whole new level.

Let’s break down the real opportunities that a professional photoshoot and a magazine feature can unlock for you.

1. A Confidence Boost Like Never Before

A photoshoot is not just about aesthetics—it’s about seeing yourself in a new light. Many of my clients tell me that for the first time in their lives, they actually feel beautiful. It’s a powerful, transformational moment. And once your photo is published in a magazine, it’s official—you’re part of something bigger, part of history. You are worthy of recognition.

2. Elevating Your Personal Brand

If you’re a model, actor, influencer, or industry expert, magazine publications serve as powerful social proof. They set you apart, strengthen your authority, and show that your presence is noticed. Even if you’re not in fashion or entertainment, a feature in a glossy magazine is a valuable asset—it elevates your image and opens doors to collaborations, events, and career opportunities.

3. Monetizing Your Image

Beauty is an asset. If your face graces the pages of magazines, you naturally attract attention from brands and agencies looking for new talent. Many of my clients have landed commercial projects after their first publication, and for some, this was the first step toward a modeling or media career.

4. A Spark of Inspiration & Personal Growth

You never know your true potential until you take that first step. I’ve worked with people who had never posed for a camera, yet after their shoot and magazine feature, they felt empowered to explore new ventures, travel more, meet new people, and step into a world of limitless possibilities. It’s about breaking barriers and expanding the way you see yourself.

5. A Legacy That Lasts

Magazine photos are not just digital images on your phone that can be lost or deleted. They are a permanent mark in the world of photography, art, and history. Your feature in a printed publication is a tangible testament to your journey, something that will outlive trends and social media algorithms.

6. A One-of-a-Kind Experience

The shoot itself is an adventure. Working with me is not just about posing—it’s about expression, movement, emotions, and storytelling. It’s about stepping into an artistic world where you become the subject of a visual masterpiece. And even if you never imagined yourself in a magazine, once you experience it, you’ll realize it’s an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

So if you’ve been thinking about it—stop waiting. Book a photoshoot. Let’s create something extraordinary together. Your best images deserve to be in the spotlight, and your life is about to be painted in bolder, brighter colors.
