..Just as no two sunrises are the same, light and shadows fall on us in a special way.
All our lines, poses, angles are unique. We do not always see them, or own the way they shape our individuality.
But they are already there.
They tell the story about YOU..

Hello and thank you for visiting my website!
My name is Marina Marchenko, I’m a photographer and the creative director of the MagnifyMe project, specializing in women’s phototherapy.
Born in the sunny city of Donetsk, Ukraine. From my early childhood, I grew to love drawing and painting. In pursuit of my passion, I attended the Arts School in Donetsk and graduated from the Moscow Institute of Graphic Design in 2007. After graduation, I had opportunities to work on various projects in advertising, music, and book publishing.
For over a decade, I lived in Dubai, the USA, and Prague. My fascination with photography is in my blood—one of my fondest childhood memories is discovering the magic of developing film with my father in the darkness of our small bathroom.
With over 13 years of international experience, my portfolio includes family and art portraits, as well as documentary coverage of significant events. For the past three years, I have focused on MagnifyMe, offering transformational photo sessions for women and teens to help them embrace their individuality. Recently, I conducted a workshop in RAM as part of the TASUM Leadership Programme for Women in Oman. My work has also been showcased in a solo exhibition in Moscow (2022) and presented at various events, including lectures in Muscat (2024).
I believe in the power of photography, body language, and self-awareness, which is why I lead workshops and interactive sessions to support women.
Looking ahead, I plan to create a legacy book featuring stories of women from various villages in Oman, as well as organize socially impactful exhibitions.
Currently, I am based in Oman and am proud to be a mother of five.
Thank you for your interest, and I hope you find inspiration in my work!
