“To see in colour is a delight for the eye, but to see in black & white is a delight for the soul.” – Andri Cauldwell

Thank you for visiting Victoria Akbik Photography; a Lifestyle Family Photographer available for on-location child, couple, family, engagement, maternity, newborn and children’s Birthday party photography. My tagline is “Capturing moments to celebrate love, light & life…”, and quite simply, that’s what I aim to do.
As part of my photography style, I always include in my Client session portfolios a selection of black & white – even sepia – images. To me there is something timeless about this; it is after all the way photography started.
There is one famous quote by Ted Grant who states “When you photograph people in colour, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in Black & White, you photograph their souls.” I am inclined to agree!
I intuitively respond to the photos in the portfolio and know which would be enhanced by monotones during my detailed editing time post-shoots.
I hope you enjoy this selected gallery of my Black & White world…

Formerly based in Abu Dhabi running my own photography business, I relocated back to my native England in the Summer of 2017. Now I’m based in beautiful Warwickshire, and I still specialise in natural light, on location lifestyle photography to capture love, light & life through my lens.
For me, photography is an essential way to preserve priceless memories and freeze moments in life. Time is all too fleeting and before we know it, the years pass by and we look back and wonder where the time went. We can’t stop time, but maybe – if I had a superpower – that is what I’d wish for. Our best chance is to document our lives so we have a window into our past that we can visit whenever we like. I find so much joy in using my skills to create priceless memories for others. It challenges my mind and breathes energy into my soul. I celebrate freezing those moments to capture not only the big picture but also the beautiful details and time-capsule minutiae, to celebrate the love and connections within family and kinship.
