More about Ana Paula W....

What do you love about your job?

I enjoy the creativity of capturing details that make people, places, and food stand out. Most of all, I value how photography allows me to combine my passion with work that helps clients tell their stories in a meaningful way.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

I have worked on over a thousand shoots across food, real estate, headshots, family portraits, and videos for restaurants. What makes each project special is my focus on detail and authenticity—whether it’s making food look as delicious as it tastes, capturing the warmth of family moments, or showcasing properties with immersive 3D, 360° and drone photography that makes the viewer feel like they are there. I aim to create images that not only look great but also serve each client’s unique story and purpose.

Awards, honors, and recognitions received

In 2017, I photographed a campaign for UberEats focused on students returning to college, and I also created a campaign for Rover highlighting petsitters and their connection with pets. More recently, in 2023 and 2024, I produced video shoots for Sucré across all their Louisiana locations, helping the brand showcase its identity through engaging visuals. Another highlight of my career was participating in a vernissage in New York in 2013 at the Calumet Photographic Gallery in Manhattan, where I exhibited a portrait inspired by Alberto Vargas and sold one of my pieces, called "The Pin-Up Girl".

A fun fact about this photographer

A fun fact about me is that I studied psychology before becoming a photographer. What started as a hobby turned into my career—and I still feel lucky that I get to do what I love every day.
