Ana Leila is a German Natural History Photographer and Filmmaker based in London. 

Leila strives to capture personal human stories from all around the world, she believes in giving a voice and letting the subject choose how the story unravels to truly capture a raw result. Her focus throughout her work is exploring the theme of identity within different cultures and presenting it in a documentary style or abstract form of photography. 

Leila’s current project is a short documentary called Avo. This was inspired by Leila’s struggles growing up as a Third Culture Kid and never being able to explore her Portuguese heritage. This personal work follows her visiting her grandmother in Alentejo and following her unique lifestyle and traditions to learn more about herself and strengthen the relationship with her family.
