Hi, I’m Anastasia.

I’m a professional photographer and videographer.

With years of experience in photography and videography, I have learned that it takes a holistic and bespoke approach to capture the best of every individual.

Think of me as your friend behind the camera: I’m here to help you tell your story with confidence, elegance and genuine reality.

“ Professional, stylish, gorgeous – PERFECT for ambitious business owners who want a more established personal brand. Anastasia was incredibly professional in her manner, and the time we spent together was SO productive - she nailed almost every single shot she took (no bad angles) which, as a photographer, is unheard of! 10/10 would recommend and would do it again. Thank you Anastasia x ”
Ana Morgan

“ Thank you Anastasia for the photos, they truely surpassed my expectations. I'm not one that likes photos at the best of times however your professional yet friendly approach and direction yielded such great and natural results. I appreciate your dedication and the time you took to get the right photos too. Thank you again!”
Alena Sakalouski

“Thank you so much, BaLuca Media, for my perfect new photo for Linkedin! I didn’t fully realise how important the profile picture was until I had mine updated, and the number of profile views I started getting per week doubled! I’ve even been approached by an agent and offered a job opportunity!’
Dr. Fernando Infante

“Working with Anastasia has been a fantastic experience. She has been very professional, both in and outside the photo shoot session, while maintaining a very friendly and welcoming attitude. Her instructions on the day were easy to follow, but there was work involved! Which paid off, as I really love the end product. I would recommend working with Anastasia to anyone! Thank you, Anastasia. Five stars :)”
Adriana James & Team

Anastasia is a great photographer to capture moods and clients' emotions. For our outdoor corporate session, she swiftly organises poses, gets nice shots without taking too much time, and makes the client feel comfortable, confident and expressive. Anastasia knows the city well, so she takes you to spots where the best pictures are to be taken right away instead of wasting time looking for the best lighting and locations. But more important, Anastasia captured Adriana's (client) personality. Our final photos are above and beyond anything we hoped for.
Big thanks from myself and Dr Adriana James.
Christopher Melotti

“What a great experience with Anastasia! We connected with Anastasia from The Portrait Hub to take some office photos, and my team and I could not be happier. It wasn't just the photos that were phenomenal - it was Anastasia's care and respect on the day. She made us feel SUPER comfortable and gave us clear instructions. Her demeanour was calm and collected, and incredibly professional. We all felt more confident and Anastasia kept things moving so efficiently. If you're looking for portraits or corporate photography, contact Anastasia at The Portrait Hub. It was SUCH a great experience”
Russian Doll Hair Extention Salon

“ I had the pleasure of working with Anastasia who effortlessly captured the EXACT vibe our business needed for our website. Working with Anastasia was an absolute joy - her organised and fun approach made the entire process easy and enjoyable with a professional final product. Highly recommend getting the full package and the videography as well, it’s so worth it! Always recommending Anastasia's services to my friends and for any business in need of exceptional photographs”
Mini Rhae Play

“Anastasia from Baluca Media was absolutely faultless. From the moment we met her in a Zoom meeting, discussing our brief, to meeting her in person, our experience was amazing. She is knowledgeable, kind and truely wants the best for your business. We are beyond happy with Anastasia and will be using her for all our product shoots moving forward. We highly, highly recommend!!!”

Every Brand is Unique, and So is Every Photoshoot ✨ We recently worked with another incredible company @onbrandau, helping them refresh their team photos as part of their branding journey. Their goals were clear: they wanted visuals that communicate elegance, professionalism, and minimalism to their audience. Drawing from their brand values, color palette, and style, we created stunning headshots, group photos, and team portraits that perfectly align with their vision. At Baluca Media, we know that no two brands are the same. That’s why every photo session is as authentic as the customer. We take the time to understand your values, emotions, style, and references to create visuals that reflect authenticity and resonate with your audience. 5 Benefits of Working With Us: ✅ Custom sessions tailored to your brand’s unique identity ✅ Professional guidance to bring out your best look and feel ✅ High-quality visuals that elevate your brand presence ✅ A stress-free, enjoyable experience for your whole team ✅ Photos that tell your story with confidence and authenticity Can’t wait to hear from you and create powerful visuals that make your brand stand out online!

New colours, new logo, new photographs for the whole team! We loved helping our clients bring their rebrand to life! 🎉 Their fresh logo, updated colours, and professional new style were the perfect inspiration for a photo session with @gibson_howlin_lawyers. With set of headshots, group and team photographs, we made sure every image reflected their renewed energy and modern identity. Why update your team photos every three years? It keeps your visuals aligned with your current team. Plus, staying fresh and relevant in today’s fast-paced world is key to standing out. Updated photos also give you a chance to celebrate growth, mark milestones, and show the world just how far you’ve come. New headshot - more engagement and attraction on your online profile!

Let them in! 🎥 What’s happening in this video? You’ll see how I set up lighting, props, and the perfect angles to make every session seamless and impactful. 💡 Remember, sharing your process can make a big impact.

❕10 Reasons You Have No Excuses Not to Have a Professional Headshot ❕ We all know that quality visuals aren’t just nice to have—they’re essential for standing out, feeling confident, and building a reputation you can be proud of. But if you’ve never had professional photos taken, it’s easy to push the idea aside, into that safe place called later, one day, or next year. And that’s okay! But let me share 10 reasons why you don’t need to wait to create a digital profile you’re proud of—right now! 1️⃣ You’re Always Online – Your profile works for you 24/7.

This quote resonates deeply. In a world where it’s so easy to compare ourselves to others or feel pressured to “fit in,” I believe there’s power in embracing who you truly are. As someone whose mission is to help others find confidence and share their authentic selves, this message is foundational. Photography and videography are more than just visual tools—they’re transformative. When you show up as your authentic self in your brand, you don’t compete, you connect. There’s no need to battle for attention or “keep up” because there’s no one else who brings your story, your strengths, or your vision to life in quite the same way. In my work, my goal is to create a space where you feel seen, valued, and empowered. Together, we carve out a lane that’s uniquely yours. Because when you stand in that place of authenticity, confidence follows naturally. And in that space, there’s no traffic—only a clear path toward the goals that matter to you. #PersonalBranding #Authenticity #Confidence #Photography #videography #sutherlandshirebusiness #sydneyphotographer #sydneyvideographer
