Petrova is an award winning, professional global climate and conservation photographer and dedicated photo educator, specializing in environmental captures,  and conservation and climate change work,  particularly in the Polar Arctic and Antarctic regions.  She is the President of Photography by Petrova, and Petrova Jones Music Inc. and working on exciting developments for Photography by Petrova, including future photography tours in 2027. 

 

In addition to being an award winning photographer, and acclaimed film maker, she is a person who chooses to live life to the full, and spread that message to all she meets.  Her 'Bucket List' video series of 2025/2026 is one of the most impactful series she has created, as it was built around her own personal ethos, developed from almost losing her life 10 years ago to a catastrophic illness.  Following a life saving stem cell transplant, she vowed to live NOW, not someday.  

 

Petrova is not just a talented , inspiring photographer, however.  The backbone of her entire career has been in education.  While many photographers may be very talented, very few can 'teach' diverse learners successfully,  It is through a wealth of experience from owning/operating her award-winning music  and photography arts school for over 27 years that she excels at guiding students through their photography journeys, helping them master skills from composition basics, and guiding them from automatic to manual settings. Her greatest joys and passions is nature, and the environment.  She centers her work around her mission to inspire and educate others to be the best stewards of this world we can be.

 

In addition to being a world class photographer, musician, and educator, Petrova is an avid scuba diver and loves spending time outside in her home state of Florida, with her Great Dane, Izzy by her side, and her husband, and eighteen year old son, Aidan.  Time with family, however,  is the most precious thing, especially as she is a frequent  global traveller.

​

As she gears up for the launch of her PHOTOGRAPHY TOURS in 2027/2028, Petrova is excited to share her expertise with aspiring photographers in breathtaking locations like Lapland Finland, and Lofoten, Norway.

 

Stay tuned for updates as she prepares this exciting development!
