Daria Troitskaia

Daria Troitskaia is a Russian-born documentary, portrait, and fine-art photographer known for her work in street photography, aerial landscapes, and conceptual visual projects. She was born in Saint Petersburg, raised in Vienna, and is currently based in Milan, after spending time working in Malta and other parts of the Mediterranean. She also has a background in graphic design and art direction, which strongly influences her visual style and composition.

Her photography spans a wide range of genres, including aerial and landscape work, documentary and street photography, portraiture, fashion, and fine-art conceptual projects. She is particularly known for aerial imagery shot from helicopters, where she transforms natural landscapes into abstract compositions focused on texture, geometry, and pattern rather than traditional scenic representation. Her work often blends documentary observation with a strong artistic and design-driven sensibility.

Among her notable projects is Maltese Exposures (2020), a photography book capturing everyday life in Malta, along with ongoing aerial Mediterranean series inspired by abstract painting. She has also worked on editorial and artistic commissions, including backstage documentary photography and experimental visual projects, and her work has been exhibited internationally in various creative contexts.
