“I don’t know know what to say, the documentary was incredible! It diverged from what I imagined when we begun (and I don’t say that as a criticism) Anthony and Tatyana caught something magical and incredibly vulnerable that I never would have conceived of. I really appreciate both of their hard work and creativity. I hope to work together again in the future!”

“Our project together was the highlight of my 2023. I'm completely in love with the video Tatyana and Anthony created. As the theme of our project together has been art heals, this video is indeed healing, so beautiful and I love every frame of it. The extremely gorgeous shots in the studio, both the self portrait and sunflowers painting captured from different angles is beautiful. I was so joyful to see myself like that.”

“Working with Tatyana was a breeze! As an artist, it can be challenging to get professional photos that simultaneously capture your sense of character and line of work–Tatyana did both. She made me feel incredibly comfortable by giving me just enough guidance but mostly freedom to be myself. My portrait photoshoot session was fun and organized and the locations were thoughtful and beautiful. I highly recommend Tatyana to anyone looking for professional headshots and lifestyle photos!”

“Films About Artists produce top-notch videos. Their work effortlessly captures our artists' stories then reflects them back in an authentic, delightful and relatable way. Their work for Ghosts of Belltown at Base Camp Two was very well done. Their choices for cuts and timing are even more apparent with the longer narrative. It's a tight production."

“Tatyana’s work for the Rochester Art Center’s Homecoming Queen exhibition exceeded my expectations. With very little direction from me and my co-curator, she beautifully and sensitively captured the soul of the show and distilled it into a moving 9-minute documentary on Ethan Mundt (Utica Queen). Art Center staff and I were moved to tears the first time we watched the film, and it was clear very early in the run of the show it would be one of the most memorable parts of the visitor experience.”

“As an artist, it has always been a challenge for me to connect with the community, while still sharing my vision in a meaningful way. Tatyana Kurepina has navigated this disconnect with grace. My personal experience with this documentarian has inspired a curiosity for local art and artists alike. I was unaware of what to expect when she presented the idea of the “Artist Spotlight” series to me, but her in-depth knowledge, genuine curiosity, and dedication to portraying authenticity put me at ease. The entire collaboration was enjoyable, and I knew by the end that the final product would portray me and my work in an honest and positive light. I am grateful to be part of a series that spotlights my artwork and creates a deeper connection with artists I have yet to even meet. I sincerely hope this project continues to grow in these uneasy times. It is a powerful way to connect and celebrate our community.”
