Vasilisa Ganakova is a photographer and an art director based in Paris.

Coming from Russia to France in 2012 to study photography, she also became curious about graphic design, deciding to pursue studies in art direction. Passionate about contemporary art, design and fashion, she divides her time between photography (mostly still life) and art direction for visual content.

Her work is minimalist but often colorful, graphic but often with an unexpected element that breaks a precisely structured composition.

In her personal projects she often uses paper and other materials to create surreal graphic compositions. She explores the notion of photography and the ways of how image can carry symbols and meanings.
