Anya Anti is a New York based internationally published and award-winning photo artist who specializes in on-location fine art and conceptual portraiture. Originally from Ukraine, she moved to USA in 2014. Anya's been into photography since 2009 and as a self-taught, she gained all her knowledge and inspiration through social media and online photography communities. A year-and-a-half later, she started creating fairy surrealistic female portraits, which became her preferable genre and a hallmark of her work. Installations, costumes and Photoshop manipulation help Anya to embody her fantasies into a finished piece of art. She shoots mostly with old vintage manual lenses like Helios and Petzval. Their imperfections help her be more creative and achieve that dreamy effect. As a workshop instructor and speaker, she has already taught in different countries. She has showcased her work at exhibitions and been published all around the globe. In 2015 was a lucky winner of Broncolor GenNEXT sponsorship and took 2nd place at Fine Art Photography Awards Professional Fine Art category. In 2017 she took 3d place in IPA People Self-portrait category and was selected for IPA Best of Show exhibition in New York, took 3d place in ND awards Fine Art Conceptual category.
