Hi! I’m Annika!
About Me
☆ Photographer ☆
Located in North Vancouver, BC
Growing up in Squamish BC, I developed an early love for the outdoors and all types of art. This led me down the path of pursuing photography and I graduated with honours from Vanarts. Since then, I haven’t looked back!
After graduating, I've been fortunate to grow my network through word of mouth and amazing connections. This has allowed me to work on various projects from salon shoots to headshots, and helping create social media content. Each project has been a new and exciting opportunity!
If you’re looking for a photographer who’s passionate and excited about bringing your vision to life, let's chat! I’d love to connect and create something special together. Thanks for considering my work, and I can’t wait to collaborate!
Education & Recognitions
-
In 2022, I graduated with honours from the Vancouver Institute of Media Arts (VanArts).
During my time at Vanarts, I had the opportunity to work with industry professionals and gain hands-on experience in a variety of photography styles. I received extensive training in all aspects of professional photography, such as courses in every major photography genre, how to operate professional studio lighting equipment, creative composition, photo post-processing, and so much more.
-
With completing all three extensive Vanarts Adobe Photoshop classes (Beginner, Intermediate, & Pro), each of which spanned around 30+ teaching hours, I can proudly say that I have completed approximately 90 hours of Adobe-focused courses.
I've gained an in-depth understanding of the program's capabilities, enabling me to tackle even the most complex editing tasks with ease. I've also gained valuable experience through countless hours of personal and client work, honing my craft and perfecting my techniques. With my extensive training and experience, I can guarantee top-quality results for all your photo editing needs.
