About Me

Hi, I'm Ana.
Nice to meet you.

I'm a food photographer and stylist who's been in love with the way food looks, feels, and tells a story since 2012. I cook, I style, I shoot and I genuinely enjoy every part of it. For me, a great food photo should make you feel something: hungry, curious, or just a little bit happy.

My Journey

How I got
here

01

The Spark

It all started with a food blog. Back in 2012, I launched The Awesome Green to share my healthy recipes and quickly discovered I was spending more time styling and photographing each dish than I was cooking it. That's when I knew.

02

Finding My Style

I turned my passion into a profession, spending years refining my craft, learning light, experimenting with colour, and travelling to discover new cultures. Every trip, every recipe, and every mistake taught me something new about visual storytelling.

03

Today

I work from my studio with food bloggers, cookbook authors, and brands who care about real food and meaningful visuals. You can count on me to handle the details, so we can focus on creating images that feel true to your brand.
