Alina and Pontus Candrian are the Faces behind Candrian Creatives.
is a Swiss and Liechtensteiner dancer who started to work in the theatre industry in her early teens.
Besides all the artistic aspects of her life, she has a big passion for topics such as equality, human rights, true crime, and sexual rights laws, which led her to now hold a Master’s Degree in Law.
She has always been passionate about art, whether it is painting, drawing, or photography. As a child and while growing up, Alina always got to use her fathers old cameras and fell in love with taking photos of family members and friends.
Later in life, Alina took advantage of her nerdy side and of what her law degree taught her - learning and educating herself - so she studied more about studio photography, took masterclasses in light setup, and began investing in studio equipment.
As a dancer, perfectionist, and camera-shy person herself, she knows exactly what kind of environment dancers and performers require, what they look for in a photo, and how they want to appear.
Her work recently was featured in the Dance Informa Magazine UK.

Pontus Candrian
is a Swedish musical theatre actor, singer, photographer and creative. He trained at Ballet Akademien in Gothenburg, Sweden, and at the Royal Academy of Music in London, after which his theatre credits include Fiddler on the Roof and Les Misérables.
Alongside his work in theatre, he has always had a strong interest in creating through still and moving images - a journey that truly took off when he inherited an analogue 35mm camera. Since then, his passion for creating genuine and authentic imagery through photography, has grown steadily.
His own journey as a singer and actor has also given him extensive experience in voice work, studio recording and videography, knowledge that he now uses to create authentic vocal and acting reels for creatives.
Pontus’ main goal is to offer each artist a sense of calm - a space where they can truly enjoy performing and creating, without fear, pressure, or the feeling that they need to prove themselves.
