Rawnoir- Portrait photography by Daria Paliy.Timeless black&white portraits of women in NYC area

Black-and-white portraiture for women ready to be seen.

RawNoir was born from a desire to create something honest.No filters. No softening. No pretending. Just the kind of beauty that grows with time, experience, and self-acceptance.I photograph women the way I see them — powerful, complex, luminous. Not because of perfect skin or angles, but because of the way they carry themselves. The stories in their faces. The quiet confidence that doesn’t need to perform.


I’m Daria, the photographer behind RawNoir.I’ve spent over 10 years photographing women and learning what makes a portrait feel true. I’m inspired by the work of Peter Lindbergh and classic editorial portraiture — not for the glamour, but for the honesty. My style is minimalist, monochrome, and intentional. I don’t rush. I listen. And I create images that reveal something real.
