Research interests

Anna has a continued interest in practice-based research in Photography, particularly in the fields of Architecture, Landscape and Fine Art Photography. Her research seeks to explore the visual meaning-making process in photography practice and the many factors that can contribute to articulating and conveying a message through visual discourse. Her photography practice has a strong focus on composition, patterns and the expressive power of Photography as "a spontaneous impulse coming from an ever-attentive eye which captures the moment and its eternity" (Henry Cartier-Bresson).

In 2016 alone, her photographs have been exhibited in fifteen different International Juried Photography Exhibitions across Europe, the U.S. and Canada, shortlisted in the top tier of two International Photography Awards and showcased in an international art magazine. Her first solo photography exhibition opens in March 2017 in Leeds, as part of the interdisciplinary research cluster "Women and the Built Environment" at Leeds Beckett University.
