ART DIRECTOR + PHOTOGRAPHER + VISUAL STYLIST
A Creative Hybrid.
Anna Naphtali has a Bachelor of Liberal Arts in Religious Studies and a minor in English Writing, yet spent her university years roaming the art halls, and taking design and painting courses, between writing poetry and reading Nietche and Kierkegaard. Since then, she has completed programs of design and french food culture at Parsons school of Design in Paris, France, and studied Mediterranean culture and food system design at Elisava school of Design and Engineering in Barcelona, Spain.
After joining a breakdancing crew in Monterrey, Mexico, a 4 year stint singing in a 9-piece hip hop, jazz fusion band, and traveling to over 20 countries, with camera in tow, she settled on a career in the visual arts. Beginning as a teen photographer, Anna has now produced content for well-known brands, created a styling curriculum for photographers, written a featured composition crash course for The Huffington Post, and taught over 600 international students. She speaks and teaches workshops online, at creative conferences internationally, and works with brands as diverse as Condé Nast publications to ABC's Dancing with The Stars.
Anna freelances, working with many return clients, agencies, brands and publications. “I enjoy creative challenge, and welcome all kinds of work, as my interests are diverse. Hospitality is the ethical foundation that ties everything I do together.”
