“My work seeks to give form to emotion - translating the intangible into visual experiences that invites viewers to not only see, but to feel. Through my photography, I aim to break through the noise and reach people on a deeply human level, forging connections grounded in shared, lived experience that unify and connect us to one another. ”

What People Are Saying
“I feel very fortunate to have had an artist like Anna part of my project. It was a pleasure working with her on the vision of the shoot. She understood that the vibe of this very intimate record needed to be conveyed through the photos and she did an excellent job. She is very creative and, of course, has a great eye. Her photos made the final album and single covers. Couldn’t be happier.”
