I’m Alana — a South African–born photographer now happily calling California home. With over 15 years of experience behind the camera, I’ve built my craft around natural light, storytelling, and connection. From the wild landscapes of Kruger National Park to the golden beaches of Santa Monica, photography has taken me on an incredible journey across the world.
I specialize in portrait, product, and travel photography, capturing moments that feel effortless and real. I’ve worked on commercial projects that bring brands and products to life through authentic, lifestyle-driven imagery, as well as personal sessions that celebrate genuine emotion and connection. Whether it’s a heartfelt portrait, a handcrafted product, or a stunning destination, my goal is to create visuals that tell a story and stand the test of time.
There’s something magical about the way light moves through a scene — the glow of sunrise through a forest, the color of a busy street market, or the joy shared between people. Those are the moments I live to capture.
If you’re looking for a California photographer who shares your love for travel, creativity, and natural light — I’d love to help tell your story through timeless, thoughtful imagery. Let’s create something beautiful together.
