About Us
We believe powerful visual stories can change how people see you, trust you, and remember you.
22PORTRAITS began as a personal story before it became a studio. Monica and Kirill were both born on the 22nd, started dating on May 22nd, got engaged on the 22nd, and were married on July 22nd.
That number became the name, but the work became the real point: helping people show up with more confidence, clarity, and humanity in the places where first impressions matter.
Built by a visual storyteller and an operations mind


Monica Ignatieff
Monica keeps the studio experience moving with calm, practical care: scheduling, communication, client flow, delivery details, and the small things that make the process feel easy.
Coached confidence
People do not need to know how to pose. We guide expression, posture, and presence until the image feels natural.
Stories before surfaces
Whether it is a headshot, team session, event, or interview, the goal is always to make the person feel credible and real.
Systems that respect time
Booking, selection, retouching, delivery, and usage are designed to be clear, fast, and easy for busy professionals.
Clients remember the feeling, not just the photo
"Normally taking photos takes a long time, isn't fun and you're lucky to get a few good shots. I've never had a better experience taking photos."
Chuck Downs★★★★★"Kirill was incredibly professional and did a phenomenal job of helping me feel comfortable. His direction felt easy and even enjoyable."
