For more than the past decade Anna has built her career with an emphasis on Fashion & Portrait imagery, capturing her subjects with the same authenticity that inspires her still to this day. With each commission she introduces the same vigor and enthusiasm to create more than the expectations specified.
Her images are wonderfully to the point, allowing her subjects to flourish in her frame, her work is renowned for both use of light as well as her adaptability with each sitter. Although her volume of work is Fashion & Portraits there is a continue importance on Corporate and Event photography all of which are embraced with the same degree of experience.
Over the years Anna has won awards and recognition for her imagery as well as for her clients from the B.I.P.P Print Awards, The MPA, Scottish Advertising Awards, L’Oreal Next Generation, Wella Trends Vision & NHF Photographic Award and the CIPR Pride Awards Scotland 2011. Anna has also exhibited in The Scottish Society of Artists Annual Exhibition, 12 Degrees Gallery, The City Art Centre, Host Gallery & Greenwich Picture House in London. Anna was asked by National Museum of Scotland to give a seminar workshop that coincided with the Retrospect of Jean Muir. She still continues to collaborate with a prestigious roster of Editorial, Design & Commissioning clients.
“Anna has an unusual ability as a photographer to both direct and leave space for spontaneity when creating an image that allows the process of image making to feel collaborative and unrestrained, which i think creates a force of expression from her subjects and models that makes her work so striking.
I think this comes from an underlying desire to understand and represent on film the conversation and relationship between herself as a photographer and her subject which, whether it be in her reportage, portraiture or even fashion, demands a great deal of trust and honesty that she provokes, but without pretense or manipulation. I have often felt through our collaborating together that the camera becomes a part of our natural conversation and often acts as an extension of Anna herself and as a vehicle through which she communicates which captures aspects of personality that can’t be staged or contrived.” Angelica Gray – Model
“I spent an afternoon in Edinburgh shooting in various locations with Anna. Even though we were in very public settings she instantly put me at ease, and was able to teach me how to communicate emotionally with the camera. Her direction was personal and clear, and resulted in beautiful images, the best photos of me anyone has ever taken.” Francesca Dymond -Actress
“Having been recommended myself to use Anna it has been a delight to know and work with Anna since 2008.
She is a true professional and I have been delighted with her work which is showcased on my own website. Anna’s expertise and knowledge of fashion photography is outstanding, she know what works and what to avoid! She is very easy to work with and goes above and beyond the call of duty – I ask her advice on both model selection and location, and she always goes that little bit extra to deliver a high quality product that projects my own company image in the manner it deserves.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Anna to anyone looking for photography. We have great fun along the way and she is viewed not as a ‘supplier’ but as a true friend and a great asset to NKD Clothing!!” Gill Eastgate NKD Clothing
“Always a delight to work with, Anna brings creativity and professionalism to every shoot. She is innovative, supportive and always pushes to deliver something beautiful and unique.” Sam Spence – Eskimo Design
“She has an ability to bring out in me what no one else ever sees and through her eyes I achieve my very best! Anna is totally original, a natural enthusiast and above all an artist!” Kerry Lyn – Hamilton Actress
“I generally shy away from getting my photo taken as I always seem to get red-eye or look a bit spaced out but I recently wrote a book about my industry (property) and felt I needed an image of myself to make the book a little more personal and when I went to see Anna she made me feel extremely comfortable, especially given the fact that I had never had a professional photograph taken before. The results simply blew me away, in fact all my staff said they knew it was me but it just didn’t look like me and all their comments were of the highest praise and it made me feel wonderful, it’s certainly made me feel more comfortable about getting my photo taken. I can’t recommend Anna highly enough, not only is she a wonderful photographer, she is a great coach and above all, a super lovely individual” Scott Hume – Founder & Managing Director of Infiniti Properties
