Hi! It's so nice to meet you.
How amazing that in this big, giant world, you've found your way here.
My name is Alexandra, or Alya for short. I'm a portraiture and lifestyle photographer based in Melbourne, capturing the beauty of the world around us. My portfolio now focuses on portraiture, corporate and business headshots, pets, couples, families, individuals, and environmental portraits. My goal is to show people's beauty, emotions, grace, love, enthusiasm, and what matters to them.
Born in the Western part of Ukraine, near the Hungarian and Slovakian borders, Melbourne has become my home and the main stage for my photography. While I cherish the memories of travels across Europe and Asia, I am now committed to exploring and capturing Melbourne's vibrant life and diverse faces.
I seek to capture moments that tell a story, reflect personality, and preserve the genuine essence of what I see through my lens. From the natural settings of Melbourne's parks to the urban backdrop of its bustling streets, my photography is about finding the extraordinary in the ordinary, celebrating the unique stories of both models and non-models alike.
Rooted in Melbourne, I am eager to collaborate on projects that capture the spirit and heart of this dynamic city, focusing on creating lasting memories for my clients in the beautiful surroundings we call home.
“My parents taught me honesty, truth, compassion, kindness and how to care for people. Also, they encouraged me to take risks, to boldly go. They taught me that the greatest danger in life is not taking the adventure.”
Brian Blessed
I BELIEVE
In laughing until it hurts at least once a day
In sleeping under the stars in clothes that smell like campfire
That dancing makes you happier and smarter
In love as a verb
In challenging myself everyday
That honest communication is built on truth and integrity
Art has the power to save the world and heal even the most broken of hearts
