Ana Dorado is a talented photographer with a great eye for capturing stunning images. Whether it's landscapes, portraits, or still lifes, Ana has a unique ability to bring out the beauty and emotion in each of her subjects. Her images are characterized by their vivid colours, sharp details, and well-composed frames, making them truly a joy to behold.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the work you put into your workshop. I had always been intimated at the prospect of photographing my own work and avoided it to be honest! Much to the detriment in hindsight of my website and social media. The course has given me great confidence in attempting to photograph my work as well as understanding what makes a great photo. I'd be much more confident now in my ability to at the very least photograph my own workshop progress shots and understand what I want from a shoot with a professional for photos for my website. It was a joy to see my work professionally shot- seeing a project day-in and day-out you can become snow blind to an extent and it was just great to see it from another perspective. Many thanks again for all the experience you shared.

Ana is a very gifted photographer, stylist and a highly talented trainer. Not only is she all that, she's also very likeable and engaging as an added bonus. Ana designed a 2 day workshop for a group of Cork based designers and makers who wanted to find their own look and identity but just didn’t know where to start.  Ana created a brilliant 2 day programme mixing theory and practice and it was a perfect pitch; participants were encouraged to create their own look, feel and mood boards which said something about them as makers. The practical photo sessions then developed themes further taking product images from all angles and flat lay with continual learning and fun at the same time.  Ana taught the group how to generate ideas, use phones and professional photographic and lighting equipment as well as powerful editing software.  Everyone in the group started as nervous novices and by the end of the 2 days they were excitedly creating photos which are of an incredibly high standard and they’re all looking like pros.  It was amazing to see everyone immersed, engaged, team working, helping each other and looking to book the photo studio space at the end of the programme.  I cannot recommend Ana to meet all your photographic, styling and learning needs highly enough.

Thank you so much for a fantastic workshop. It was mind blowing so fun and informative. It has given me so much confidence in product photography, staging, telling my story visually but also I'm myself as a maker. I look at my work and I say wow, "I'm really good!! ". I feel more confident in promoting my products and also my price point. Thank you Ana so much.

Paul Murphy Furniture, Mindful Maker

Ana was a joy to work with, very easy going & very professional. She was very accommodating to us, as with the photos we required we needed patience & the timing to be right. We were very impressed and would highly recommend Ana & if we require a photographer in the future Ana will be top of the list, I would recommend all businesses to check out her work. New website is in progress, we are looking forward to seeing all the photos on show in a few weeks! Thanks again Ana.

Amazing lady. Beautiful personality and very professional. Ana was in the classroom with us for half a day and we forgot she was there; she just became one of us. Would highly recommend Ana.

I have had the pleasure of working with Ana Dorado on a number of occasions now. Ana has done products shots of my work and the impact on my website and Instagram page has been instant. People really react well to good photography and it shows your work in a really positive light. Ana has a wonderful eye for detail and is a magician with light, she really "gets" her clients. Ana also did photographs in my studio and honestly, it looked amazing and the feedback has been incredible.

I would totally recommend booking Ana to photograph your work......it is a total game changer and a real investment in your future.

Violet Shirran, Textile Artist

Ana is a true professional and excellent in her field. She was accommodating, communicative and the images she produced of my work are wonderful. As an artist it is important to have images which are true to the original artwork and Ana achieved this!

I certainly hope to work with Ana in the future and would have no reservations in recommending her.

Liza Kavannagh, Artist

Having seen some of Ana's work through a creative group we are both in, Bite the Biscuit, I knew I wanted her to take my product pictures. She had taken some pics for me of my products that she had ordered herself and they just leapt off the screen. The detail was exquisite. I use the photographs she took of my products on my website and on my social platforms and if I'm stuck for something to post about on any given day I just have to look through her photos to feel inspired. She also came to my home to take pictures of me in my garden and it was such a wonderful experience.

As someone who doesn't like to have their photo taken, she made me feel totally at ease with her warm and completely charming personality. I adore all the photos she took and adore Ana herself too. She is a consummate professional wrapped up in an utterly charming package and I cannot wait to work with her again soon. Thank you Ana.

Had a photography class last weekend with the amazing Ana Dorado. Ana, you sparked magic in my photography ✨ ✨

It was a wonderful day and it definitely awoken in me a different perspective on how I see my own work. Thank you 😊 really invaluable advice.

I knew that I liked taking my own photos but after your class and meeting you I love my work again and that's so important to me. Thank you.

Sharon Murphy, The Handmade Studio

My favourite part was understanding and setting up a lifestyle shot.. colour and composition... and seeing it through the camera lens. I’m really glad I did the workshop I learned so much and having the opportunity to use a LightBox was great. I’m now enjoying taking photos and taking more time not rushing through it like I used to. I have all the ‘know how’ clearly outlined by Ana.

Breda Hogan, Bessearrings

I LOVED Ana's workshop, I learned SO much in a day! My new photo skills and tricks are saving me so much time and stress! If you have products to sell or a social media feed ... to feed (!) this course will be of enormous benefit.

Cora Murphy Artist

I can highly recommend Ana's workshop. I got lots of practical advice and tips on taking photos of my pottery and see a huge difference in the photos I'm taking after it. Thanks Ana.

Clair Jones, Lough Gur Pottery

It was a pleasure working with Ana who took some photos of my jewellery. Photographing silver and gold jewellery is not easy and Ana approached it with ease and confidence giving her best. The final result was lovely and I was very happy with Ana's service and speed of delivering the final work
