Anna Warner’s Art Practice
Hello! I’m Anna Warner. I graduated from the University of Virginia with distinction in Studio Art and Art History.
I see the camera as an uncanny tool with the ability to transform the everyday into something that magically becomes an art object. In a world beseiged by imagery and signs, we forget how radical a photograph is, how different a flat, frozen depiction it is from the experienced world. I appreciate and experiment with all types of photography, including digital and film, alternative processing methods, and various formats.
In addition to my own art, I photograph weddings, fashion editorials, concerts, and portraits of any kind. I am also pursuing a career in art museums and research.
If you are interested in a print or hiring me as a photographer, please email me at alw8er@virginia.edu.
