Portraits and photographs made to be held and lived with.
Fine art portrait commissions and personal work created as physical pieces meant to remain.
My work is guided by insight rather than performance.
Whether creating portraits or personal fine art, I’m interested in what reveals itself quietly, when time slows and something more honest emerges.
Much of the work is completed as physical artwork, designed to live in the home and be returned to over time.
FINE ART
Landscape and personal work exploring stillness, perception, and place.
PORTRAITS
Quiet, intentional portraits created as physical artwork rather than digital sessions.
Photography is often experienced quickly and digitally.
My work is created differently. The finished pieces are meant to exist physically, as objects with presence and longevity.
Not all photographs are meant to be shared.
Some are meant to be kept.
I’m Irina Vass
a photographer based on the Oregon Coast
Photography, for me, is a practice of attention.
Through refined perception and patience, I explore how stillness, time, and awareness shape what is seen. My work is rooted in the belief that when we slow down, something essential becomes visible.
Interested in a portrait commission or destination experience?
I accept a limited number of commissions and review inquiries personally.
