Hello! I am Anna Clarke, a photographer based between Santa Barbara, California and Oʻahu, Hawai‘i. My team and I work across weddings, portraiture, and commercial projects, capturing people, places, and brands through deeply personal, editorial imagery. 

WELCOME TO ANNA KREATIVE STUDIO 
photography for
PEOPLE, PLACES & BRANDS. 

With over 6 years of experience and collaborations with brands like Four Seasons, Evian, Moët Hennessy, Longines, Tudor and many more I bring a balance of creative direction and documentary approach to every project — allowing space for authenticity while capturing professional and elevated imagery.

Originally from Ukraine, my perspective has been shaped by traveling to 40+ countries and living across different continents and cultures. My years in Hawai‘i, working closely with local communities and environmental initiatives, continues to influence the way I approach storytelling — with care, respect, and intention.

I work with a select number of clients each year to ensure a thoughtful, personalized experience. Explore my work below. I’d love to connect.

With expertise in lifestyle photography and product marketing, I deliver high-impact visuals that authentically tell your brand’s story. From luxury products and food photography to lifestyle campaigns, I create tailored imagery that elevates brand identity and drives engagement. My portfolio demonstrates a keen eye for detail, ensuring every shot aligns with your marketing objectives across digital, social, and print platforms. If you’re looking to boost your brand’s visual presence and connect with your audience through lifestyle and purposeful imagery, let’s create it together.

My photography work with non-profits and sustainability projects is driven by a deep respect for the earth and the communities striving to protect it. Whether documenting beach cleanups, sustainable farming, or environmental advocacy, I aim to capture the heart of your mission in a way that feels genuine and impactful. Through my lens, I focus on the details that tell your story—the people, the environment, and the positive change being made. I'm here to help amplify the work you're doing with images that reflect the authenticity and passion behind your cause.

For me, capturing weddings and elopements is about more than just the big moments—it's about the quiet, intimate ones too. My approach is to blend into the background, allowing genuine emotions to unfold naturally. Whether it’s a beachside vow exchange in Hawaii, a serene elopement celebration in the Santa Barbara Courthouse Sunken Gardens, or a quiet moment in the Northern Californian forest, I focus on the details and moments that tell the story of your day in a way that is real and timeless. I’m here to document moments, so you’ll treasure them for years to come.

Hawaii, California. Open for travel worldwide.

I provide real estate and architectural photography services for a range of properties in California and Hawaii, including luxury resorts, vacation rentals, high-end residential homes, and commercial spaces. My clients include property management companies, real estate agents, developers, and designers looking to showcase their projects in the best light. In addition to capturing wide-angle shots that highlight the layout and space, I focus on the design details, decor elements, and overall ambiance to create a comprehensive visual narrative of each property. Whether you're marketing a home for sale or promoting a hospitality experience, I create images that highlight the space and capture its distinct ambiance.

I offer professional photography services for VIP corporate events, including conferences, business meetings, workshops, fundraisers, and brand activations. My clients range from local businesses and startups to large corporations and international brands seeking high-quality visuals to capture key moments. I focus not only on the main events but also on candid interactions, branding elements, and the atmosphere of the venue. Whether it's a formal dinner or a networking event, I create images that capture both the energy of the occasion and the finer details, ensuring your event is documented in a way that reflects its importance and unique value.

I love capturing the beauty of human connection, and my portraiture photography reflects that. Whether it’s for business branding, a couple's love story, or a family session, my goal is to create images that are candid and artistic. Based in Santa Barbara, California, and Oahu, Hawaii, I work with entrepreneurs, couples, and families across both locations. 

For branding, I collaborate with professionals to ensure their portraits capture their professional identity and unique value of their products and services. 

For couples and families photos, I preserve your real, intimate moments. I focus on candid, heartfelt interactions, capturing cinematic photographs in a non-intrusive, less staged, and more fun way, allowing moments to unfold naturally while reflecting your true connection and love.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER
