Growing up in Indonesia with a Chinese background makes Anna no stranger to Asian culture. Still, she was never impressed with all the culture around her until she was introduced to photography. This started on August 2004 while she was living in China studying Mandarin. One of her best friend, Axel Kirch invited her to join an online photography community called “flickr.” She borrowed Axel’s spare camera given that she didn’t own a camera at that time.
On September 2004, along with Axel and two other friends, she went on a 3 months trip around Asia. Getting her first camera seemed to be a must for this trip, so she picked Nikon Coolpix SQ, a tiny point and shoot camera as her first gear. Anna and her brand spanking new gear became inseparable instantaneously. Together they explore the beauty of Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
Although Anna has only been introduced to photography a couple of years ago, her work has been recognized by people who love art and photography. Her photographs have appeared in photo shows, book, magazines and countless photo blogs. Moreover, she provided some digital photo elements used for the digital matte painting in "Fast and Furious 3".
Everyone has his/her wildest dream. Anna’s is to go to the wild and capture the wild life in their natural habitat. Her even wilder dream is to win the battle with her underwater phobia and to go to the unknown underwater world without fear and photograph the beauty.
This beauty hunter is currently living in United States. Within a couple of year living in Los Angeles, she found another passion: graphic design. With her background in photography, she learned graphic design very quickly. Soon after, her design works are shown in the school's annual design show. She graduated with an AA Degree in Graphic Design from Santa Monica College this year and aiming to graduate with a Bachelor from Art Center soon.
