My name is Anna Lisa and I have been in love with story-telling all my life. Capturing the essence of a moment, the atmosphere, the feeling, its colors and smell is mind-blowing.. it can transform anyone into a world- and time-traveler.

As a child, I slept very little. I wasn’t an obnoxious kid, just awake a lot. Even then I probably wouldn’t miss any opportunity to collect moments. That state of mind has never changed: I love stories; to tell, to hear, to see and to be swept of my feet by them. Words are strong, but images have the super-hero-power of transporting you to a different time and place. Even better, it can be looked upon and cherished simply whenever you feel like it.

As you might have guessed, I love everything that satisfies my craving Including travelling, listening, reading, losing myself in new places/life/cultures/scenes.

I would do anything and go anywhere for the perfect shot, and therefore I wanted to stay close to home and show you a very simple series captured at home.

In my professional life there is a lot to do about words and rules, but I have chosen to take the path less traveled and have dedicated my time and energy to improving access to necessities.

Making a difference can be done on every level, but capturing and sharing the beauty of the world is (besides highly addictive) essential to open the eyes of the world to the beauty within.
I have never learned about photography, but life has taught me that I learn fast and am flexible.

My name is Anna Lisa and in the 29 years I’ve been around I’ve been addicted to storytelling and would love to learn about the magic of capturing stories in a professional way.

Pick me :-) !
