Creative Statement

"Do something that your heart truly desires because believing and loving whatever you do makes for a happy heart and we could all be a little bit more happier." - Anny To

I have always been a creative soul who has dabbled in various forms of expressive art. Even though that is true, I was never the girl who knew she wanted to be a photographer. I just sort of fell into it at the age of seventeen. During that time, I was mainly in front of the camera but after realizing how much I loved photography, I started my business in 2010. Nowadays you can catch me on the other side capturing more than just photographs but capturing the realness of all the inhabitants I have had the pleasure of working with in this crazy, beautiful world.

Each and every day, I try to push my boundaries as not only a photographer and artist but as a person. I am heavily influenced by stories, short films, paintings, nature, romanticism, fashion, and all things magical. Whenever I shoot, I put my whole heart into showing the world others' stories through my eyes. Not only do I want to create stories that show raw emotion and the candidness of life but I hope that I could inspire someone out there to do what they love.

I want to travel to all the corners of the world; to absorb different cultures, tastes, sounds, and sights. With each experience shapes me into the person I am becoming and the person I am today. Thank you for taking the time to get to know a bit about me. I have always been a little weirded out when it came to describing myself but with photography and time, I have grown to be more open. I am incredibly excited for you to join me on my journey.
