About
My name is Yana-Frida Binaev. I am an entrepreneur & creative.
I am a photographer, funded trader and investor.
I am also a writer of books and poetry, dancer and a polyglot, as one - I speak 7 languages. I also share a huge passion for music.
As a passionate equality advocate I often express and translate ideas through my creative work.
I aim to raise awareness towards diversity, race and gender equality which are topics of high importance to me since I can remember myself.
I create documentary photography projects that tell unique stories. I focus on portrait photography, photography of women and diverse communities events and BTS (behind the scenes) on sets of film and music videos.
In my life journey so far, I had the chance to live in 5 different countries and learn to speak different languages, what helps me understand the world, different cultures, and mentalities on a deeper level, and what eventually lead me to be doing what I am doing today and sharing my inner world and perspective through my work.
Dance has been present in my life since a young age. The main focus has been on Bellydance most of my life but at an older age, I discovered my passion for Afrobeats, through which I brought to life the concept of Afrobellydance.
More about the variety of creative projects can be found in the different sections above.
Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy looking through the work!
