ABOUT ME
Hi! I'm Paula, a trained photographer based in Amsterdam who specializes in shooting portraits, events, real estate and branding projects. I have an eye and love for documentary photography, so my style is "real over filtered" and "quality over quantity."
It's wild to think that I bought my first camera—a Nikon N60—over 20 years ago. It took many paydays from my after-school job to save up for it. I took my first photography class at 17 years old, and I often begged my teacher to use the darkroom after school while she graded projects. I was obsessed. I continued to study photography at the University of Colorado, whereI obtained a bachelor's degree in Journalism and Mass Communication, majoring in broadcast production, with an emphasis in photojournalism.
I also studied fine art photography, where I experimented with manipulating film negatives and creating playful scenes that helped viewers consider identity and acceptance. I now primarily shoot digital, but there's still nothing like the excitement of developing a roll of film.
I love many aspects of photography, but ultimately I'm passionate about capturing life and making creative visions materialize—mine and others. Over the years, my news, travel and portrait works have been published in numerous print magazines, newspapers and textbooks.
Different shoots require different approaches, but whether portraits or properties, I come with professional experience and reassurance. I strive to provide not only beautiful but also unique images.
I also have over a decade of marketing and communications experience, and I offer these services in addition to your photography needs. I assist with social media marketing, blogs, copy editing, and communications and social media audits.
