Inna Gvozdova was born in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. She grew up watching her grandfather making aviation dioramas and mesmerized by the black and white homemade photos, though didn’t pick up the camera until her late twenties.

She moved to California when she was 26 to follow her ambitions to work in Silicon Valley corporate. Immediately fascinated by the beauty of the golden state and America’s nature, Inna found her passion in traveling and creating storytelling imagery. Her aesthetic derives from vast landscapes, Nordic culture and European art of 19th-century.

When Inna is not planning her next adventure, she does vinyasa yoga, rides her longboard or shredding the slopes in South Lake Tahoe.

Favorite photographers: Annie Leibovitz, Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky, Vivian Maier, Ansel Adams, Frank Hurley, William Eggleston, Alex Strohl.
