Create, Inspire, and Elevate Your Photography Journey
This year, I want it to be truly special. I firmly believe that we create our own destiny, and that’s exactly what I’m setting out to do. My goal is to be honest with myself—to follow my heart, create what inspires me, and embrace every opportunity that comes my way.
I’ve always loved the challenges of light, unexpected moments, and the unpredictability of a shoot. Those are the very things that bring magic to photography and make each of us unique.
That’s why I’ve designed a series of masterclasses just for you. These workshops will take place in Sydney, the Sunshine Coast, and Melbourne, offering a blend of indoor and outdoor photography experiences, followed by a next-day post-production session.
I want to share my passion and process with you, invite you into my world, and maybe inspire you to stay a while. Let’s grow, learn, and create together.

“I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone just as creative with lighting as Ana! She is an absolute master at what she does and her beautiful and creative energy is so contagious!
I’ve attended 2 workshops with Ana now, one 1:1 and one studio and I’ve left both workshops with so much knowledge gained and felt so inspired to go out and test my own creativity with my clients by implementing all the things I learnt.
Ana is so motivating and it really was incredible watching her work and create magic in the studio! She also took the time to understand where I was with my photography journey and where I wanted to be.
Every image I took from both workshops spoke to me and tugged at my heart. The images I was able to create under Ana’s guidance were ones I had been envisioning for a long time and it was with Ana’s mentorship and guidance that I was finally able to achieve that.
Thank you Ana! For being an incredible creative and support. You are amazing x!”

“I can’t express enough how great Anastasia’s workshop has been for me as a natural light photographer.
Before attending, I always felt out of my comfort zone using studio light, but Anastasia’s guidance completely changed that. I was blown away by how many different techniques and lighting scenarios we covered. She made the process so easy and for the first time I felt confident blending natural light with studio lighting setups. I’m now using everything I learned in my new studio, and it’s been a game changer for my work. Anastasia’s workshop didn’t just teach me technical skills, it gave me the confidence to truly make the most of every lighting situation. I’m so grateful for the experience!”
