Hi, I'm Ana Ria.
I started as a visual artist. My whole life has been connected to art, starting in fine arts high school and continuing through different areas of art ever since.
Photography was a passion that quietly grew inside me from the moment I took my first photo with an old digital camera. I knew I loved taking photos, but at the time, I had no idea it would become what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
I tried many different areas of art over the years, and somehow, no matter what I was working on, I always ended up turning it into photos. I did not always choose photography, but it always seemed to find its way back to me. Looking back, I think that is how I slowly discovered where I wanted to be.
Today, I work as a freelance photographer covering both live music and action sports. There is something about that kind of energy I can never get enough of, whether it's a packed venue or a skate park. The loud music, the lights, the chaos of a show, or the speed and split-second timing of a trick landing. It all happens once, and I want to capture it so those moments can live on long after they are over.
Wondering if I'm the right photographer to work with?
Here's a little more about my approach and what you can expect when working with me:
• I value building a strong connection with my clients. Shooting one-off gigs or events is fun, but being part of the team is even better. I want to understand who you are, whether as an artist or a rider, and capture not only that one moment, but also the work behind it.
• Every image is individually selected and professionally retouched to a high-end standard, then delivered ready for social media, press, merchandise, or print.
