Anna asking her Grandmother to teach her how to use a Leica.
Anna's first camera was a 1970's Kodak Instamatic. Fascinated by photography from an early age, she went on to study photography in college. She's photographed with a medium format Rolleiflex, a Mamiya C330, until moving on to a Hasselblad, and then eventually transitioning entirely to digital photography.
She has been on assignments for magazines such as Condé Nast Traveler and Gourmet magazine. Her work has been featured on the cover of Time Magazine and appeared in both editorial and corporate publications. Anna has traveled worldwide on assignments related to social, environmental, and economic issues photographing and attending UN conferences such as the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo, the Fourth World Conference on Women, Beijing 1995, among others for The Earth Times. She was the official photographer for Habitat II, the Second United Nations Conference on Human Settlements in 1996. Anna is currently working on several long term photography projects.
Anna is also the founder and director of the Hudson River Park Mothers Group, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing support and resources to mothers in Lower Manhattan.
Anna is passionate about the environment and is actively engaged in grassroots advocacy related to climate change and children’s environmental health.
