"Capturing the drama which unfolds, creating new dynamics that heighten posed shots while seeking peak spontaneous moments throughout the day offers a wonderful challenge and enjoyment that words fall short to describe."

The worlds of Brooklyn New York, Manhattan, New Jersey & New England blended through her early years, developing Ananda's keen observation of the natural world, lifestyle and cultural diversity. As a teenager she was photographer for her junior high school newspaper, attended weekend art classes at Pratt Institute (Brooklyn NY) and later earned a BFA degree from the prestigious Parsons School of Design & New School for Social Research in painting. This rich period of artistic study and practice further deepened through employment with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art and Brooklyn University.

Ananda's strong artistic background now wonderfully feeds into her born-again passion for photography. She uses digital technology to create and master images that take on a more refined essence with every shoot. In just two short years, she has done work for: Osmosis Enzyme Bath & Spa (Freestone, CA), the Sundance Grant winning Turtle Island Films, Habitat for Humanity (Santa Rosa, CA), Chicago Corporate Yoga, Living Nutrition Magazine, Healthful Living International, Synergy Center for Yoga & Health (Miami Beach, FL), In The Heart of The Awakened Conference (Mt. Shasta, CA), Harmony Festival Art Team, International World Forgiveness Day Conference, CD & promotional images for Shimshai, Roadside Daisy's, Chris Bramble Band and many other professional and private clients.
