Anne was born in 1957 in Sydney Australia. Recently completed a major commission for Sydney International Airport portraying the various lifestyles that Sydney has to offer.
Anna has been working in Australia for more then 20 years, in this time she has become known for her humorous perspectives. As well as documentary photography she also focuses on portraits, corporate documentary, corporate commissions and freelance photography.
Below are a few images that I find most inspiring from her collection 'Bondi - Playgrounds of the Pacific'.

I love the simplicity of this shot. The colours and the composition. The main subject has been placed in the dead centre which seems to be very unusual as most photographers are taught to obey the rule of thirds.

I find that the birds eye view is very well used, its makes the view as though they are onlooking the scene. The lighting is quite strong however used effectively.

Anne photographic a few images on this backdrop. I find the other images very posed, this one feels a lot more candid. Below is an example of one that I find very posed.
