Photographer from Tartu, Estonia Photographer Sergei Otniakin & Contrassa Photo Studio

My name is Sergei, I am a photographer and founder, and this is the story of how Contrassa photo studio came to be.

My photographic journey began in childhood when my grandfather gave me a disposable film camera as a gift. This present opened the doors to the world of photography and ignited a fire within me that only grew stronger over time. I truly delved deep into the art of photography in 2016, starting to create my first portraits, getting acquainted with event photography, and capturing my first wedding.

In the middle of 2023, the idea of creating something special, something that would carry my personal touch in the world of photography, was conceived within me. In the fall, I made the decision to take a step forward and do something more. This is how Contrassa was born – a photo studio created by me.

Active dedication and a clear vision resulted in an amazing outcome, and by the beginning of 2024, Contrassa photo studio was ready to open its doors. It was not just a physical space but also a creative expression, a place where I could share my perspective and skills with others. Contrassa became a space where each shot tells its own story, where every photograph reflects an emotion, and where each photoshoot is a unique experience.

My goal is to create memorable moments and share my passion for photography and creativity with those who step through the doors of Contrassa photo studio.

Looking forward to our photoshoot!
