Friday Favorite: Olya Sanakoev Photography

Have you used art photography as a means of decorating? I’m using it more and more in my projects. Compared with original numbered prints, photographic prints offer a less expensive way to complete a room with real style. One resource I particularly like is the work of photographer Olya Sanakoev.

Olya makes her home in Toronto, Canada and has been taking digital images with her trusty digital camera since 2001. As Olya says, “I shoot only digital - not because I don’t like film, but because I shoot for myself, and I like it this way. Photography is fun for me, and I hope that my photographs reflect that fun and joy in life. I think the world is beautiful, and I want to show that. Essentially, I like things that are pretty. Perhaps that’s no deep point, but we all enjoy beauty.”

Outside of photography and world traveling (seriously envious of that), Olya pursues an eclectic life. She holds a double major in Computer Science and Cognitive Science from the University of Toronto. She also writes a blog about knock-off furniture called (appropriately) Knockoffs.

Visit Olya’s site to see more of her beautiful images. You can purchase them in varying sizes. All her photographs are printed on high quality photographic paper. Her prices are as follows: $30 for 8″x12″, $50 for 16″x24″, and $70 for a 20″x30″.
