Hi, I’m Ana.

I’m a photographer and educator based in Ireland, drawn to the inner world of creative people — the way makers, designers and artists live their craft as much as they practise it.

I’m fascinated by the small rituals, the focus, the curiosity, the mess, the breakthroughs, the patience, the stubbornness — the quiet devotion that sits behind every piece of work.
Not just the craft itself, but the life that shapes it.

That’s what I try to photograph: the person, the hands, the process, the atmosphere, the story you carry into everything you make.

Many of the people I work with feel shy about being photographed. That’s okay. I’ll guide you gently, show you the best side of you and your work, and help you relax so your presence and your creativity can shine through.

If your craft is a part of your life — something learned, lived, refined and loved — I would be honoured to photograph it.

Shall we begin?
I’d love to meet you.

I often ask my clients to reconnect with what they love about their craft.
That pause — that small moment of remembering — helps me photograph them in a way that feels natural and honest.

The images we create together often reveal their work in a new light.
That clarity gives them confidence, not only in what they make, but in how they show it to the world.

 

Alongside my photography work, I teach customised, in-person workshops on product photography — calm, practical days designed to help small creative businesses take beautiful images for their own social media.

I love these sessions. There’s something special about watching someone realise, “Oh — I can do this.”

Participants leave with new ideas, renewed confidence, and simple methods they can use straight away in their own space.

And if you're curious what it’s like, here are a few words from people who’ve already taken the workshop and transformed the way they photograph their work.
