I’m Anna, a queer photographer based in Berlin working across queer portraiture & music

Whether I’m documenting real-life moments or crafting carefully staged scenes, my work centers queer lives and stories that resist easy definitions — stories that often go unseen, unheard, or uncelebrated.

From smoky basement gigs and sun-drenched festivals to intimate portraits and urban solitude, I use photography to explore identity, presence, and resistance — bringing together aesthetic sensitivity and a clear commitment to underrepresented voices.

I was three when I held my first toy camera, and eleven when I started playing drums. Since then, photography and music have always been intertwined in my life. While playing percussion in various bands, I developed a deep connection to visual storytelling — one I nurtured through my studies in set design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and in photography at IED Milan. After living in Rome and Luxembourg — where I worked with local newspapers as a street photographer and covered underground music events — I kept moving, shooting, and collecting stories across borders.

My lens follows what moves me: unapologetic bodies, independent artists, gestures of care, acts of defiance.
I believe in photography as both craft and connection — a way to hold space, create visibility, and honour complexity.

Alongside my role as Head of Product Operations at iMusician Digital, I continue to support independent voices — helping their music travel and their presence take shape, on their own terms.

Listen up.

I also curate HEAR ME ROAR — a regularly updated, cross-genre playlist from independent queer artists, created to increase the visibility of the LGBTQIA+ community.
It’s a celebration of unapologetically empowering voices, and a space to discover new sounds beyond the mainstream.
