About Us

About the photographer

Anna Clemann, an award-winning animal photographer based in Melbourne, started Creature Focus Animal Photography in 2005. Anna has a Diploma of Arts (Applied Photography) from the Northern Metropolitan Institute of TAFE in Melbourne and has more than five years experience in capturing a wide variety of animals from cats and dogs to elephants and snakes.

Anna is a member of the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers (AIPP) and the Australian Commercial and Media Photographers (ACMP). Anna has also undertaken a First Aid for Pets course through the Bark Academy and the Port Phillip Animal Hospital.

Taking into account the animal and its surroundings, Anna is able to capture unique images that tell a story beyond the immediate photo. Using a variety of techniques and location options allows for greater flexibility ensuring that each session is different to the last.

Creature Focus specialises in all types of animal photography including pets, wild animals and animals in captivity. Creature Focus offers:

* location photography, including in your home, parks and beaches

* studio-style photography in your home

* photography at our studio. Please note that the studio is located in Surrey Hills.

Creature Focus also aims to help animals in need. We have worked with Beagle Rescue Victoria and Stafford Rescue, as well as the RSPCA Victoria.

Recently we undertook a project called Pet Tails, along with two other pet photographers, to assist the RSPCA Victoria. Pet Tails is a coffee table book featuring a collection of images and words about pets, just like yours. To date we have raised over $25,000 for the RSPCA. If you would like to help by purchasing a copy of Pet Tails, please go to http://shop.rspcavic.org.au/p-1321-pet-tails.aspx.

If you are an animal welfare organisation looking for images of the animals in your care, please contact Anna on 0410 507 716 to discuss how Creature Focus might be able to help you.
