Renata Stonytė is a fashion and beauty photographer based in the UK, creating imagery that bridges fine art and commercial storytelling. With a background in painting and a commitment to analogue craft, she works on digital and medium format film, capturing texture, natural light, and quiet femininity in ways that resist perfection and embrace authenticity.

Her work explores the female gaze — portraying women with softness, strength, and nuance rather than objectification. From reimagining classical oil paintings in contemporary contexts to shooting raw, wind-swept editorials in the landscape that inspires her.

She works across fashion, beauty, and lifestyle, equally comfortable in the studio and on location. Her approach is rooted in getting it right in-camera, minimal retouching, and creating images that tell stories rather than simply showcase products. In an industry increasingly dominated by AI and digital perfection, her film-based, human-centred work offers something rare: imagery with soul.
