Vlasova started her professional career as a photographer in December 2013 during Euromaidan protests. She worked for the website svidomo.com and got an assignment to take pictures of the protests. She subsequently went to Crimea to cover the 2014 Crimean referendum, and after the start of the War in Donbass, she was travelling all the time between Kiev and the east of Ukraine.[3]

She received an honorable mention for 2015 IWMF 2015 Anja Niedringhaus Courage in Photojournalism Award.
