Hi, haven’t posted for that long, need some reintroduction.

I’m a crazy Russian girl who moved to the other side of the world with just a suitcase, a camera and a helmet.

I’m 38. Almost 7 years in New Zealand. I finished uni, bought a motorcycle and a car, built my own business, and I live happily alone in Auckland.

Sounds like a dream?

It wasn’t.

Divorce. Loss of two family members and a close friend. A 6 year relationship ending. A pandemic. A war. Economy that makes everything harder. Immigration stress, postponed visas, and all the beautiful chaos of starting over in a foreign country.

People admire what I went through. For me, I just couldn’t do it any differently. I choose my life every single day.

I turn 39 in a month. And my life is just beginning.

Keep watching. 👁 by @dashing.studio.nz

End of year notes (survived edition)

Christmas and New Year are coming, and apparently we’re all supposed to “reflect.” So here we go.
This year was hard. Like, character-building hard.
I left a 6-year relationship. Now I’m learning single life in real time:
finding a proper place to live
going on dates (see: roulette)
building my business
and yes, working part-time at IKEA, surrounded by furniture that has better relationship stability than most people
It’s been challenging, but boredom hasn’t stood a chance.
Bonus: my friends stay entertained because every time we meet, I show up with fresh stories like it’s a subscription service.
New year, same me. Just smarter. And louder about my boundaries.

I shoot people for a living. Now I clone brands with AI.

Grab 20 custom images built for your business for $99. Price goes to $300 after 8 Aug - or once ten smart owners lock their spots.

Bonus:
• PDF with 8 AI prompts so you can stop Googling “how to write LinkedIn posts.”
• AI-composed company song that’ll make your staff hum at the water cooler

Optional extras:
• 15-30 second video.

Scroll my feed. Every portrait and every word was cooked in the same AI kitchen I’m handing you.
Everything in this post is AI. If it fooled you, it’ll flatter your customers.

DM me before the lazy ones wake up.
Just pay and watch the robots work.

Yours, Dasha

Forget backstage passes—every frame you see is the show. These stills are straight from the music video I built myself. Cast? Me. Crew? Also me. Budget? Two days, black coffee, and a mischievous pile of AI.

I fed the machine AI lyrics, let another model crank out the riffs, then told a third to handle lighting like it had a union card. Zero cords, zero tantrums.

Real talk: I still can’t play a chord without bleeding, but I can direct code like a diva. Call it cheating; I call it working smart.

Peak lazy engineering: maximum noise, no calluses. Swipe, crank the volume, and meet Rock-Star-Dasha 2.0. by @dashing.studio.nz

I was meant to headline stadiums by now.
Ten-year-old me had the hairbrush mic, a notebook full of rhymes, and a second-hand guitar that hated staying in tune. Reality? My “band” was a one-girl noise complaint.

Fast-forward: the guitar’s gone, but AI just spat out Rock-Star-Dasha—spandex, smoke machines, the whole cliché—no missed chords, no blisters. Turns out the dream wasn’t wrong, the tech was late.

Swipe for proof. The riffs are synthetic, the attitude’s original. Lazy by nature, efficient by design. taken in Auckland New Zealand Temple by @dashing.studio.nz

Packing up the whole circus tomorrow. Big shoot for the Ministry for Ethnic Communities — which means: full portable studio, lighting rig, assistant wrangling cables, and my entire gear list that weighs more than I do.

No sun. No fluff. Just control, precision, and caffeine.

I shoot people for a living. And tomorrow, we’re shooting like it matters. by @dashing.studio.nz

Spent my afternoon doing important things like… turning my cats into criminals with AI.
Who knew “don’t pick me up” and “feed me now or else” could look this iconic in mug shot form?
Just me, an ex-stray cat gang, and an unhealthy obsession with both felines and technology. Liquorice (black cat) and Cookie (turtle shell) are sentenced to get cuddles. When I got sent pics from a friend of mine of his cats, so now its 5 cat band, swipe till the end to see me .
BTW Have you used AI already? by @dashing.studio.nz

AI’s not the enemy. Laziness is — and not the smart kind.

You can whine about the robots or you can learn to work with them. Guess which one pays better?

I use AI to speed up the boring bits so I can stay in control of the real work. That’s not cheating. That’s surviving with style.

Coexist or get left behind. Your choice. I’ve already moved on. by @dashing.studio.nz
