"Through My Lens"

"I'm Pavlina, or Paya to most. A Czech photographer now calling North Coast NSW home. My love for photography started in childhood, capturing moments on a film camera. Though times have changed, my passion persists—fueled by progress, the joy of good work, and positive vibes. My heart craves adventure, beach days, nature, and music. In my work, you'll find bits of my heart—a collection of moments, light, and feelings.

Let's freeze your best moments together."

I’m quite down to earth and sarcastic. I love random chats about life, traveling and creating art. When we meet, I can promise you 2 things - good times as well as beautiful photo memories that we’ll create together.
