Since graduating from Plymouth University in 2007 with a First Class Honours degree in Media Arts, Ana Lui has been on a relentless journey of creative discovery. Her lens has wandered across continents, capturing everything from sweeping landscapes and stylish interiors to raw human emotions and magical wedding moments. For over a decade, Ana has honed her craft as a commercial photographer, producing compelling visual stories for travel publications, interior designers, creative entrepreneurs, and discerning couples.
But Ana is not just a photographer, she’s a visual storyteller, a seeker of beauty, and a practitioner of energetic alignment. Her photography blends the technical mastery of light and composition with the invisible forces of emotion, presence, and purpose. It is this unique synergy that makes her work resonate so deeply.
Joining Condé Nast Traveller
In 2018, Ana’s talent and tenacity were recognized in a major way: she officially joined the Condé Nast Traveller masthead team. This milestone brought with it not just prestige, but a passport to the world’s most extraordinary destinations.
With CNT, Ana’s assignments have taken her far beyond the ordinary. From the wild surf of the Azores to the romantic countryside of France, from the islands of the Bahamas to the winding alleys of Kolkata, Ana has traversed the globe to tell travel stories infused with light, texture, and soul. Each location, whether a design hotel in Santorini or a hidden cheese farm in the French backcountry, becomes part of her visual diary one that celebrates discovery, curiosity, and design.
Photographer in Motion
Ana’s travel photography demands more than just a sharp eye and technical skill. It calls for agility, spontaneity, and innovation. Her ability to adapt to any situation whether that means hiking for kilometers in remote terrains, capturing the right frame in chaotic urban centers, or chasing the golden hour on overcrowded islands has become her signature.
Working on the go, she’s learned to master natural light, embrace imperfections, and find beauty in the unexpected. Ana’s photographs don’t just document a destination, they evoke a feeling, transporting the viewer to that very moment in time.
Destination Weddings with Heart
In addition to her travel work, Ana is an in demand destination wedding photographer, shooting fine art weddings around the world. From sun-soaked Greek ceremonies to intimate European elopements, her wedding portfolio is a testament to romance, emotion, and attention to detail.
Weddings, as Ana puts it, have been one of her greatest teachers. They’ve taught her the art of grace under pressure, from handling unpredictable lighting to managing complex timelines. But more than that, they’ve deepened her ability to connect with people, with emotions, and with fleeting moments that matter most.
Energy, Intuition, and Inner Work
What sets Ana apart in an industry brimming with talent is her spiritual and energetic approach to photography. She is a practitioner of Quantum Healing (IQM), a practice rooted in intention, visualization, and vibrational alignment. It’s a discipline she brings into every space she enters, every portrait she shoots, and every connection she makes.
“Working with people, light and energy made me dive deeper into quantum healing,” Ana shares. “I use my IQM skills when I travel, when I enter each room and each space, when I meet new people. The practice of setting an intention and manifesting exactly what I want to achieve shifted my whole approach not only to photography and my business, but to life itself.”
For Ana, photography is not just about the external it’s deeply internal. Every image begins with intention and alignment. This energetic presence transforms the shoot from a task into a ritual; it elevates her photographs from visuals into vessels of meaning.
A Message of Love and Light
At the core of Ana Lui’s journey is a simple yet profound mission to spread love. Whether she’s behind the lens or mentoring others, she believes in the transformative power of kindness, energy, and aligned intention.
“I believe that reconnecting with love, kindness, and positivity can shift all the fears, insecurities, money blockages, and anything that’s stopping us from being the best version of ourselves,” Ana says. “Starting any task any job, any photoshoot with a manifestation of love and beauty instantly aligns us with the divine flow.”
Ana doesn’t just want to take beautiful photographs. She wants to help others connect with their flow, their creativity, and their higher self. Through her work and her words, she encourages others to move from fear into freedom, from pressure into presence.Since graduating from Plymouth University in 2007 with a First Class Honours degree in Media Arts, Ana Lui has been on a relentless journey of creative discovery.
