Unconventional Photography
A WAY OF SEEING
Images that begin with an idea
and stay open to
the unexpected.
Across constructed scenes, chance encounters and ongoing visual research, I work with observation, humour, performance and place.
WORK INDEX
The work
Series
Self-initiated projects that begin with a question, a recurring gesture or an image that refuses to leave.
Built over time, open to ambiguity and unexpected connections.
Collaborations
Collaborative portraits of artists and individuals.
Images shaped through conversation, trust and a shared visual language.
Elsewhere
Photographs made while moving through unfamiliar places.
Found scenes, passing encounters and small disruptions in the ordinary.

MEET AN DIRELLA
Photographer
& visual consultant
I’m Anna, an Italian photographer based in Berlin. I work across conceptual photography, artist collaborations, live performance and street observation.
Drawn to gesture, performance, place and chance, I create images that leave room for ambiguity, humour and more than one reading.
My practice is rooted in curiosity, care and collaboration, creating visual spaces where people and stories can be seen on their own terms.

How much do you charge?
Prices vary depending on the type of shoot, location and project scope, but I always aim to keep my work accessible, especially for queer and independent creatives.
If you have a limited budget, don’t be afraid to reach out. Let’s talk about what’s possible.

From portraiture to promotional visuals, my work blends creativity, care and intention, creating a safe, collaborative space where identity, artistry and self-expression are celebrated.
Where are you based? Do you travel for work?
I’m based in Berlin, but I’m happy to travel for the right project, especially within Europe. Reach out and let’s see what’s possible.
How can I book a shoot with you?
Just email me at andirellaphoto@gmail.com or send a message via WhatsApp or Telegram at +49 176 43 60 29 02.
Tell me about yourself, your project and anything that represents your energy: links, moodboards, socials, playlists or references. I’ll get back to you and we’ll take it from there.
What happens after we decide to work together?
Once we agree on the project, we’ll define the scope, timing, location and what the images will be used for.
From there, I’ll send over a clear proposal and we’ll shape the process together, whether that means planning a shoot, developing a visual concept or leaving space for something more spontaneous.
