Anja Ekstroem Academy

I am a photographer, educator, and mentor with many years of experience working professionally within beauty, fashion and creative photography. My background is rooted in both commercial and editorial work, and my images have been shaped by long collaborations with models, makeup artists, stylists, and creative teams.

As an educator, my focus has always been on more than technique alone. I teach photography as a combination of skill, intention, confidence, and visual storytelling. Over the years, I have guided photographers at many different stages, helping them move from uncertainty to clarity, and from hobbyists to having a professional career as a photographer

My teaching is grounded, practical, and experience based. I share what actually works in real creative processes, not idealised shortcuts. Everything I teach is built on years of hands on work, reflection, and a deep respect for individual creative journeys.

I will take you from dreaming - to doing!
