ABOUT ME

I’m Paula Pastrana, a Colombian photographer currently living in the United States, and I’m thrilled to have you here!

 Since childhood, I’ve been captivated by the idea of preserving special moments, like capturing them in a crystal sphere to make them last forever. Whether through music, art, or poetry, I’ve always sought to document and share life’s stories. That desire found its true expression when I discovered photography—my perfect medium for creating timeless connections.

I hold a degree in Photography and Digital Imaging from an art college in Canada, with experience across various genres, including sports, fashion, product, documentary, portrait, and event photography. Currently, I’m pursuing a Master’s in Documentary Photography through LABASAD Barcelona.

My work centers on turning fleeting moments into eternal ones, aiming to evoke connection and tell stories through each image—whether it’s for a product campaign, a fashion collection, a personal project, or a historical event.

 I’ve had the honor of participating in group exhibitions like Tropicalia, Dendrofilia, Brujería, Miche, and Casa Amarilla, as well as hosting solo exhibitions such as Eco. My photography has also been featured in digital publications like Ikebana Magazine and Revista Magazine.

Beyond photography, I’m a dedicated traveler, a former professional soccer player, a certified family constellation systemic therapist, a proud dog mom, and a member of the LGBTQ+ community.
