Born and raised in Brazil, Naya started her career in the fashion industry at the young age of 15. After 11 years traveling the world as a model, exploring more than 30 countries and learning 5 languages, she feels blessed to be able to incorporate these cultures and experiences into her art. 

 

In 2021 she realized that her love for photography was bigger than any desire to continue the modeling journey and decided to jump to the other side of the camera. 

 

The transition process is described by her as the biggest adventure she has ever experienced. She self-taught her photography skills, bringing all the knowledge she gained on her countless experiences with different photographers around the world. 

 

Naya was always fascinated by what was going on behind the scenes of the shoots she did as a model and while she didn’t know it at that time, her love for photography was blossoming through that fascination. That seed has been planted and watered for 15 productive years as a model. 

 

Now she brings that love to light in her photography work expressed through the vivid colors, shadows and movements shown in her photos. 

 

Live photography is what leads her love to create unforgettable art in the actual way she’s experiencing the world. 

 

As a Reiki healer, Naya is passionate about the metaphysical, exploring the divine feminine energy, and sharing her own transformative and healing journey with her audience. She is uniquely able to bring this combination of skills and energetic mastery to client projects who wish to convey a special frequency.
