About Anya

Photographer, educator and global citizen, Anya Dennis, a native of Philadelphia, photographed her first subject at age eighteen. While attending Clark Atlanta University she traveled to Ghana, West Africa in 1997 to study literature at the University of Ghana. This experience afforded her the opportunity to record the marvelous images that colored Africa’s complex cultural and geographical terrain. It was this journey that gave birth to her passion for photography. Determined to explore the relationship between culture and identity, her travels across the continent from West to East Africa provided her the blank canvas she needed to further develop as an artist and prompted her commitment to photograph as a means of capturing the soul.Anya now works in Seoul, South Korea where she focus on traditional lifestyles and terrain in East Asia.

A Little About South Korea

South Korea is officially called the Republic of Korea.

The capital is Seoul and has a population of about 50 million.

Korean artwork has been influenced by Buddhism and Confucianism. You can see this in many of the traditional paintings and sculptures.

The tradition of Korea has been preserved throughout thousands of years, which enables photographers, like Anya, to capture it with her camera.
