Hey you

This is where real people feel comfortable in front of the camera.

"Anna aren't you afraid of AI taking over your job?", i get asked a lot. 

Simple answer, no.

It’s about reading people.
Creating enough trust for someone to drop the mask.
Knowing when to shoot - and when not to.

That way of working comes from documentary photography. From observing first, photographing second.


Just time, presence, and an eye trained to notice what matters.

My background is in storytelling & documentary photography. Before that, I studied war crimes and human behavior - trying to understand how systems affect people on a very real, personal level. Somewhere in that process, I realized the camera was the right language for me.

Today, I bring that documentary approach into different settings - from personal portraits to corporate environments. I adapt to the world I’m working in, but I don’t change what I look for: honesty, connection, and emotion.

I work with people who don’t want to “perform” for the camera, but want images that feel like them. Images that are calm, clear, and grounded.

Alongside commissioned work, I share stories through pop-up exhibitions across Europe. A few longer-term projects are currently in the making and will be announced in 2026.

Because the best photographs don’t just show how someone looks.
They tell a story.

If that resonates, I’d love to hear your story.

STORY

Vitoria, Family Portraits

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Anna for a photo and was fantastic. From the moment we connected, Anna demonstrated an incredible level of professionalism and warmth that set the tone for the entire experience. Her combination of professionalism, creativity, and genuine care made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Anna has a knack for capturing not just the physical appearance but also the essence and personality of her subjects. The final photos beautifully reflected a version of myself that felt both authentic and true. Thank you, Anna, for these beautiful and remarkable photos! Highly recommended."
