More about Anastasia C....
What do you love about your job?
When I am behind a camera I know I am fulfilling my purpose. I am an intent listener and people-person, deeply curious about story, identity and voice. I have crafted a career around this love, which is my favorite part of each shoot: using my skill of seeing the essence of my subjects to create photos they love.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
My shoots stand out because of the connection I have with my subjects and my ability to adapt to them. I have done shoots in every area of portraiture from head shots to performing arts to families. I put my subjects at ease with my experience; my style is a mixture of giving direction and creating space for genuine movement and emotion, working with the strengths of the setting and subjects. I know how to work with children who don't want to sit still and busy offices with tricky lighting. I am low-stress, set your expectations along the way and know how to deliver exactly what you need in your photographs.

A fun fact about this photographer
I love film photography! I have a growing collection of vintage Polaroid, 35mm and medium format cameras. Having the foundation of film adds a distinct attention to detail to my approach.
