ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Melania!


I’m proud to be one of the first photographers in the world specializing in pole dance and aerial sports. My journey began in 2016 when I attended my first pole dance class just to try something new. It was tough and painful at first, but the moment I touched the pole, I fell in love. Hahaha!

​

In my group, we loved taking photos after class to capture the poses we learned that day. I was always the one snapping pictures with my phone. I enjoyed it so much that, with my friends, we rented a photo studio and a pole stage to take professional photos with beautiful lighting and backdrops. That was at the end of 2017.

​

When we shared the photos on social media, they went viral! Suddenly, so many women were reaching out to ask if I could photograph them too. I knew I had to take the next step, so I enrolled in a photography school to learn everything I could about the craft.

​

Since 2020, I’ve been a full-time photographer specializing in pole dance, aerial sports, and weddings. While weddings hold a special place in my heart, pole photography will always be my first love.

​

What makes me unique among pole dance photographers?

​

  • With over 8 years of experience in pole dancing, I know almost every trick and can guide you to perfect your poses during the shoot.

  • I’ve also trained in aerial hoop and aerial loops, so I can assist with those too.

  • I have an eye for the best angles, ensuring we capture the most flattering side of each trick.

  • My custom-built photo studio in Budapest is designed for pole and aerial shoots, with ceilings over 3 meters high.

  • I have a full flash and backdrop setup that’s portable, so
    I frequently travel abroad to shoot in pole studios around the world.

  • I’ve photographed over 500 pole dancers and aerialists, so you can trust in my experience.​

​

The most common reaction I hear during photo shoots is:

“OMG, is this really me? How did you do this? It’s amazing!”

It melts my heart every time.

​

Are you ready for an unforgettable experience that will show you a side of yourself you’ve never seen before?

 

Let’s create something extraordinary together!
