Hello, my name is Valeriya Pak! Welcome to my page. I'm thrilled to share my passion for photography with you. Although I currently live and work as a Digital Marketer in New Zealand, my love for photography remains a cherished hobby. My journey with photography began in childhood, and it was ignited when my brother gifted me a Nikon D5100 from the USA. Eager to learn, I dove into the world of photography, taking classes at a Nikon school in my hometown of Almaty, Kazakhstan. My early subjects were family, friends, pets, and the natural beauty around me. Before relocating to New Zealand, I had the incredible opportunity to attend a workshop at the New York Film Academy in Almaty. Over three intense weeks, I immersed myself in fashion photography, learning from the renowned Kristina Varaksina. The experience culminated in a surprise photoshoot with a well-known Kazakh model and several local talents. I was thrilled to see my project photos selected as the best, leading to a cover shoot for Harper's Bazaar Kazakhstan. Though life has taken me on a different path, my passion for photography continues to inspire me. I hope you enjoy exploring my work and the world through my lens. Feel free to browse more of my photographs below and support my page.
