Polina Adoneva, known professionally as Paulina Berlin, is a photographer based in Los Angeles, USA.
Working under her artist name as a tribute to her maiden name, she creates work that blends the emotional depth of fashion and documentary photography with surreal, poetic undertones.
Paulina holds a Master’s degree in Cultural Services, a background that informs her sensitivity to human experience, atmosphere, and the layered meanings within everyday life. For her, photography is a way of listening to people, spaces, and silence. Her images often explore identity, memory, and tension through subtle gestures, light, and mood.
Her work has been featured in PhotoVogue and continues to evolve as she explores long-term personal projects and visual storytelling rooted in emotional honesty and intuition. Living and working in the United States, Paulina brings a cross-cultural perspective and a deep appreciation for the intersection of the seen and the felt.
