About

Hi, I’m Petra—originally from the former Czechoslovakia, now rooted in the American South, where sunlight and seasons shape the rhythm of my days. My creative path began in Jacksonville, FL, where I blended a background in graphic design with Fine Arts and studio photography—and where I finally found my voice behind the lens. Over the years, I’ve worked with both individual and corporate clients, capturing everything from high-volume, on-location headshots and lifestyle portraiture to editorial work for clients like HarperCollins and Cosmopolitan. After a pause in 2024 to reset and reflect, I’ve shifted my focus to what brings me true joy—photographing the quiet wildness of animals and the soulful hush of nature. These days, you’ll most likely find me chasing waterfalls or roaming the mountains of North Carolina with friends and my dogs, or soaking in the serenity of Florida’s coastline, camera in hand.
