About Me. Photographer Anastasia Nagibina

About Me

I was born in Russia and began my career as a professional athlete in sports acrobatics. From a young age, I harbored a deep interest in photography, but my commitment to athletics required me to set this passion aside temporarily. My journey eventually led me to work in the circus industry internationally, which ultimately brought me to Orlando, Florida, where I secured a contract with Cirque du Soleil. However, after sustaining a significant injury, I was compelled to pause my performing career. This pivotal moment presented a unique opportunity to pursue photography—a dream that has always remained with me.


Photography and traveling are my greatest passions, each one enriching the other. Capturing moments through my lens allows me to freeze time and savor the beauty of the world. As I travel, I encounter new places and people, each with their own unique stories. These experiences fill me with incredible emotions—curiosity, wonder, and connection. Meeting others and learning about their lives adds depth to my journey, turning each snapshot into a meaningful narrative. Through this beautiful blend of exploration and expression, I discover a tapestry of human experiences, all framed by the art of photography.
