Ukrainian journalist, documentary photographer, and photojournalist with many years of experience working in national and international media. Anna's professional practice combines photojournalism, visual anthropology, and reportage photography at the intersection of social, political, and cultural issues.
The author has been involved in photography for over ten years, more than eight of which have been professionally. Her photographs have been published in Taz.de (Germany), Country Life in BC (Canada), Western Canadian Dairy News, Ukrainian media: Latifundist Media, Vash Shans, and others. Anna participated in a project by UNESCO and the Institute of Mass Information (IMI) to document the loss and destruction of cultural heritage sites in the Sumy region as a result of the war.
The author is actively involved in exhibitions: in particular, her work was presented at the photo exhibition “Behind the Lens: Culture Under Attack” (UNESCO, IMI, Kyiv, 2024), and received awards at international competitions, including the MAXQDA Photo Contest, Germany. In 2020, her personal photo exhibition #StoriesPROStories took place at the Congress Center of Sumy State University, Sumy.
Anna has a technical education in applied materials science, as well as additional specialization in psychology and cultural anthropology. This interdisciplinary experience, combined with several years of work in agricultural journalism, has largely shaped her authorial approach to visual narrative — precise, empathetic, and meaningful.
