Actually born on November 1, 1945, in Mexico City, Paulina Lavista was a photographer. Her father a composer her mother a painter, Lavista grew up surrounded by art and music. After a short trial at modeling (for commercials) and then movies, she became interested in photography. Beginning with portrait work of artists and other notable figures, Lavista then ventured into photographing everyday Mexican life, artistic nudes, Mexican art scenes, etc. Her themes varied but a favored one was motion, birds in flight, ballerinas, etc. Her nude subjects were often controversial. She was largely self-taught, although she did learn processes for lab work at the Centro Universitarios de Estudios Cinematographicos.
