Osipova was born and raised in Cheboksary, the capital city of the Chuvashia region in western Russia. Growing up, she says, “the fusion of traditional Chuvash culture, Soviet past, and [the] turbulent history of Russia [in the] ’90s has definitely left its mark on me.” 

She is a 23-year old Saint Petersburg-based artist who creates stunning jewelry and embroidery works. She models her own creations, posting selfies on her instagram. 

“Little stories of my ethnicity from the depths of Russia. The poetry of Chuvash embroidery and the symbols encoded in it.”

Her flower photographs “needed to be large, letting you dive into the detail of each petal, the way it connected to the core of the flower, how it decayed and lost its color.”

Self-taught Samsonova studied the work and processes of Helmut Newton and Richard Avedon. “I just try to translate what fascinates me about the things I see into photographs,” Samsonova said.

She’s collaborated with a wide array of brands and photographed celebrities, including Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Ciara, Teyana Taylor, Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, Tinashe, Kelly Rowland, Hailey Bieber, Emma Roberts, Khloe Kardashian, Rosalia, Sofia Richie, Maye Musk, Travis Scott, Pyper America, Bebe Rexha, Pink, Normani, Kourtney Kardashian, and Jessica Alba. She’s also directed music videos for artists Ciara, Gallant, and Pink.
