We Don't Work with Konpoli Albums Anymore

A Commitment to Excellence: Yuliya Panchenko Parts Ways with Konpoli USA

In a bold step that reinforces the value of craftsmanship and authenticity, acclaimed photographer Yuliya Panchenko has officially ended her partnership with Konpoli USA, the photo album brand she helped bring to the American market over three years ago. This departure signals a powerful statement about her dedication to maintaining quality and integrity in her business and within the broader photography industry.

A Shift in Brand Direction—and Values

Konpoli, once celebrated for its hand-crafted, luxury photo albums, has recently undergone a major transformation under new management. With a shift toward mass-produced, cardboard-based albums, the brand moved away from the artisanal roots that once defined its identity.

For Panchenko, who has built her reputation on offering clients the best, this change was non-negotiable. The updated product line not only jeopardized the trust she built with her clientele but also stood in direct conflict with her high personal and professional standards.

The Breakdown of Ambassador Relationships

Panchenko's decision wasn’t just about product changes. It also stemmed from how the new leadership approached its ambassadors and photographer partners. After investing years of effort to help Konpoli gain a foothold in the U.S., she witnessed a noticeable decline in communication, recognition, and support for those promoting the brand.

This shift in treatment raised serious red flags. If a company no longer values its own ambassadors, what message does that send about its treatment of clients? For Panchenko, continuing to support a brand that no longer upheld mutual respect and shared values was no longer an option.

Aligning with DreamBooksPRO: A Fresh Chapter

Determined to uphold the level of quality her clients expect, Panchenko has now partnered with DreamBooksPRO, a Portugal-based company known for its exquisite, hand-crafted albums and dedication to excellence. DreamBooksPRO offers worldwide shipping—including to the U.S. and Europe—and represents a natural fit for Panchenko’s refined taste and high standards.

Beyond offering luxurious, heirloom-quality albums to her own clients, she is also excited to recommend this brand to fellow photographers and students who value artistry and premium craftsmanship.

A Stand for Integrity in the Photography World

Panchenko’s move away from Konpoli is more than just a business pivot—it’s a stand for professionalism, consistency, and ethical alignment. In a time when many brands cut corners in the name of profit, her choice to partner with a company rooted in craftsmanship serves as a reminder that values and quality still matter.

Her story is a powerful message to photographers and creatives: you can build success while staying true to your standards.

What This Means for Konpoli and European Photographers

It’s important to note that Panchenko’s departure affects only the U.S. division of Konpoli. The brand continues its European operations in the Netherlands and Greece, where the original craftsmanship and service remain strong. Photographers in those regions can continue their partnerships with confidence.

However, for photographers seeking greater value, stronger customer support, or fresh creative opportunities, exploring what DreamBooksPRO has to offer may be the next exciting step. With a focus on elegance, quality, and client-first service, the brand stands as a premium alternative for professionals who demand the best.
