\"Gaya
\nHi! thanks for stopping by.<\/p>\n

I’m Gaya. Capturing beauty through the frame of a lens is my thing \u2013 it may sound corny but I grew up with a camera in my hand.<\/p>\n

My Polish roots meant in the early days it was an old manual Russian SLR, which I literally took everywhere (much to my mum\u2019s dismay). The more I photographed the more I realised that what lit up my lens was capturing personalities and emotions through portraiture.<\/p>\n

I promise I have upgraded my equipment and while things in my life have certainly shifted \u2013 I now live in leafy Oxford with a tech geek \u2013 what has not changed is that I always have a camera in my hand. And I still see things through frames.<\/p>\n

I am fun, creative but professional. And so is my photography. Capturing memories and life\u2019s little intricacies is what I am about.<\/p>\n

In my second life I am a professional web and print designer, where every day I play with colour, composition and form, which has only strengthened my photographic technique.<\/p>\n

What is so important to me is getting people to feel comfortable, so in many ways I see my clients as friends. Drawing out personalities through creative and inspiring images is where I get my satisfaction \u2013 finding their perfect angle, capturing significant details and real moments in real-time is what I strive for.<\/p>\n

I have a relaxed, modern style through which I give a refreshing edge to classic shots and those unexpected highlights.<\/p>\n

Reportage or photojournalism call it what you will \u2013 what I do is create a story of your big moment or special day always with a smile that makes its way on to the frame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
