Hi, I’m Ana.

I'm a photographer from Brazil based in Valencia, Spain.

My journey with photography began with capturing the personalities of cats and other nonhuman animals. This was a natural choice for me, given my affinity with other creatures and the fact that I was a shy, skittish creature myself. Photographing animals allowed me to develop my skills without the pressure of social interactions. As I grew more confident with myself and my camera, I began venturing into street photography and portraiture.

I‘ve chosen to specialise in black and white photography because of the way it expresses life's contrasts. Black and white photographs can be dramatic and powerful, providing depth to scenes and subjects. They can also be elegant and delicate, capturing the gentleness which every moment carries, oftentimes missed. 

Aside from photography, I've dedicated several years of my life to philosophy. I hold a BA and a master's degree in Philosophy from the University of Birmingham, specialising in empathy and happiness. Philosophy has profoundly influenced my outlook on life, and I endeavour to reflect this in my photographic projects. Inspiring empathy is one of my main goals.
