"The Soup couldn’t be a more fitting name: Antonina's presence and the humans she draws in, are warm and nurturing with lots of space to hold big ideas/ingredients. Her guidance is so gentle and kind, but also supportive. I kind of wish I could Soup all year round."

Hi, I’m Antonina.

I’m am award-winning photographer. An artist. An educator. A storyteller. A recovering lawyer. A reformed marketing executive. An activist. A writer. And an imperfect, multi-passionate human.

I have been working as a photographer and sustaining my own creative practice and projects since 2009, and helping other photographers and artists do the same through individual and group mentoring since 2019 both on my own and as Made for Documentary co-founder.

My mentoring work is driven by love, curiosity and unschooling approaches, underwritten by neurodivergence, and brings together all my varied lived and professional experiences. When working with me, expect to be challenged and supported in equal measure - but also respected as a complicated, multifaceted human being.

I can't wait to work with you!
