Meet your photographer Anja

My name is Anja and I’m a photographer and filmmaker.

I specialise in documentary photography - for families, for small businesses and for myself as well.

I live between Brighton and Worthing, on the beautiful English south coast, where I get to enjoy the seaside and the hipster coffee shops. I love biscuits, tattoos, birds and binging podcasts.

My camera (one of 5) is with me most days. Documenting life is not just a job, it’s everything.

My people see the beauty in the ordinary, appreciate authenticity and value honesty.

Are you my people?

You have a million photos of your family and friends on your phone but you’re not in any of them (apart from a few terrible selfies).
You hate posing for photos.
You love family photos but you can think of 100 things you’d rather do than finding time in your busy life to dress up your kids and cart them to a studio or pretty field, to have some picture-perfect photos taken.
You recognise (or at least try to recognise) the beauty in your every day (chaotic) life.
You think creativity, curiosity and adventures are just as, if not more important than academia. Education is vital but it comes in different forms and shapes.
You feel that the days are passing way too quickly. In 20 years, you don’t just want to remember, but you will want to be able to FEEL how wonderful (yet crazy) life was today.

Does any of that resonate with you?
If it does, we’ll get on well!

When beautiful moments happen right in front of me, I HAVE TO take the picture. I can’t help it (seriously, ask all my friends!). So when you book a photo session with me, you’ll get honest, authentic and wonderful family photos and films, documenting the magic of your every day.
Do you think we'd get on? If yes, get in touch!

So… what else is there to know about me?

I’m passionate about a lot of things but instead of overloading you with info, let me present you with 6 facts:

Something I'm known for....

... is having a number of personal projects on the go at all times.

Personal projects are how I learn to improve my skills and my craft. It's where I can play, experiment, fail and grow. And the benefit is that through challenging myself, I constantly learn something new that will help me provide the best possible service and products for my clients.

Long Portrait

This project started in 2018, out of a concept I’ve been wanting to play with for a long time.
The goal is to create a video portrait of a person, revealing more than the facade captured in a photo. An interview and music support the intensity of the portrait.

The struggling artist

2020 was a weird year – everything stopped while the world dealt with the pandemic caused by Covid-19. The arts and entertainment industry have been hit especially hard.
The idea of this project is to show the reality of this pandemic in an artist’s life, how individuals deal with it and how they get pushed out of their comfort zone in order to keep working and creating.

Project 365

On my birthday in November 2019, I decided to start a year-long project, where I take a photo every single day. I’m now in my fourth year of this project. This is my photo diary and the story of my mundane life. I post the daily photos on a personal Instagram account.
