I'm a self-taught photographer with a love of still life and landscapes, although I'm always on the lookout for a shot, no matter what the subject. I just try to put my own mark on things.

I use a Nikon D200 which I absolutely love, and have a Nikon D50 and Samsung GX-10 as backup bodies.

I am constantly striving to improve my photography and be more aware of the world around me. I really enjoy the challenge and take an even greater delight in photography as a result.

I retain full copyright ownership of all of my pictures; photographs may not be reproduced and/or used publicly in any way, including publication on other websites or blogs, without my express written permission. Please contact me at star_anna@yahoo.com if you are interested in using any of my photographs. Prints available upon request.

    "I'm just another in a long line to voice praise to Annas photography. I've known her for the past 2 years through the Photography Cafe and her talent just continues to grow and grow. She has demonstrated such versatility producing outstanding shots in whatever she has turned her hand to, a recent example of this is the Mallory Park shoot with DSLR User Magazine, where she produced some excellent images.
    Anna continues to be a huge inspiration to me and I thank her for sharing her outstanding portfolio.
    Well done Anna!"

    "Anna...one of my photographic heroes. Not only is she a nice, nutty person, but she has an incredible eye for light and composition. Her creativity and comedy come through in all her shots."

    "What do you say about Anna's photography?

    Whatever I say will not capture the spirit and heart that goes into these images. I have been very lucky to know Anna for a good while during her photographic journey and have watched her develop with her eye, her technical ability and her utter passion for what she does.

    In my journey I have known some excellent still life photographers, arts photograhers, landscape photographers, each that has worked damned hard at what they do. Anna is the first photographer I have know that encapsulates all of these talents and more. The great thing is... there is so much more to come. Go, have a look at the pics and enjoy."
