The Girl and the Sun

I'm Ana Luísa, but most people call me Lu. I'm a fine-art and event photographer who is now launching her career, and loving every second of it. My academics revolve around Conservation and Restoration of Art, Art History and Art Management, but this is, for sure, my real passion and what I want to do for the rest of my life. I love self-portraits, food photography, dreamy landscapes and romantic, girly imagery in general.

Please do NOT take any of my pictures without my previous consent. Do no use them to make any kind of graphics (icons, banners) without my previous authorization. Do not edit them in any way. My work is finished when I say it's finished, and you're not allowed to tweak it. Thank you for respecting this.

I've been asked this by several people: my source for textures. I use a few by the lovely pareeerica and some others are of my own making. I don't normally post mine, but check out her work — it's amazing!

    "Lu is one of the most amazing people i know,not only as a photographer,but as an artist,person and friend. She amazes me with every single new shoot,she goes from 8 to 80 in a blink of an eye and she will never let you down on your expectation of what else can make you marvelled in her work. She photographs with passion,and as i have the chance and honor to work with her several times,i can honestly say that she's a force of nature, she loves what she does and she is never happy with less,she will always want more, better and much more beautiful. I look up to you,Lu,you know that,and you're one of my role models, inspirations, most brilliant friend and when you doubt of yourself remember of what you told me once 'I am a good photographer'!"

I love how she can take something so simple and make it beautiful. She's an amazing contact and I know she can go so far if she continues with this."

    "Lu, you promised me a print of my choice and so today I went through your entire photostream. I've followed your work for months now, and your uploads are always beautiful, but looking at page after page of your work this afternoon left me speechless.

    Your photographs remind me of sun-drenched afternoons and sleepy holidays. You have the most amazing gift of being able to capture tiny, real moments and make them into art. The way you see the world, and the way you capture and share it, are beautiful, and I hope this next year is as sunny as the last."
