ABOUT ME
Elena Tanti

Hello, I am
Elena Tanti

My photography journey began in my teenage years, when
I received my first camera. Photography wasn't just a hobby
for me, it was a way of seeing the world. I became the person,
who captured the moments and details of everyday life, from
school hallways and friends to family gatherings and my travels.
Finally, I would develop each frame in the darkroom, bringing
those moments back to life.

When I became a mother, my focus shifted towards the most important people in my life. I’ve documented every milestone,
from birth to childhood...

Today, I bring the same commitment to "preserving the priceless"
to all my clients!

Personal Photography Exhibitions

I have hosted 2 personal photography exhibitions at the Russian Center for Science and Culture in Valletta. My first exhibition, Russian and Maltese Views, was specially prepared for Notte Bianca Festival in October 2024 and explored the architectural and natural parallels between Malta and Russia. Then, in February 2025,
I showcased 'Spring in Malta', an exhibition which captured
the island's vibrant springtime awakening.

Art and creativity have always played
a special role in my life

I have enjoyed photography for many years, as well as painting murals and working with plywood to create pieces, such as the
'Girl and Dolphin' artwork. I have also designed and made intricate costumes, including a hand-sewn bee dress and an oversized apple backdrop, for my daughter’s dance competitions. It was this passion for creation that led me to a career as an art and craft teacher for primary and middle school students. Today, that same artistic foundation helps me to capture every photograph with a deep appreciation of colour, composition and the unique potential
of each moment.
