I’m thrilled to share our second meetup for the Amber Collective, which was a night at the museum! At the end of March, we gathered at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art for a night of connection and inspiration. As with our first gathering, we were intentional with our event, with a friendly team…
I am thrilled to take you all behind the scenes of my friend Cassie’s photography mentorship, which she hosted last month in San Francisco. Cassie is not only an amazing photographer, she’s incredibly generous with and articulate about everything she’s ever learned, which makes her the perfect person to lead a mentorship group. I’m constantly…
Fuzzy little aliens have invaded Union Square! Not to worry, the little creatures are part of the 2019 Macy’s Flower Show. The theme is Journey to Paradisios, with lots of references to outer space and sci fi fun. I was hired to photograph the event before it officially opened on Friday, and the installations will…
I’m so incredibly proud to be a part of the Amber Collective, a community for Asian American women creatives in the Bay Area. We started this as a group of five women who are grateful to have formed community with each other and wanted to help foster that for other Asian American women as well. In…
The Pearl is a unique urban loft space in the Dogpatch, SF with soaring ceilings and a wonderful roof deck. I was happy to be on board as their photographer for the second year in a row when they held their open house last month. Take a peek at the event and all the wonderful…
Over the last few years, it has become a tradition for me to throw creative parties for my birthday each January. If you’ve known me for a while, you might remember past celebrations, including the moody dinner party, spoon carving, pottery, my 10-year business anniversary, and last year’s plant party. This year, my idea started…
Throwing creative birthday parties for myself has become something of a tradition in the last few years. And since my birthday is in January, it’s also a wonderful way to kick off the new year with a little celebration. This year I was inspired by two of my newfound hobbies from 2017: plants and painting….
Anna Wu Photography is ten! Ten years simultaneously feels like it’s just flown by and has stretched on forever. Actually, if you reach back, from exploring photography as a child to getting affirmation for it at summer camp, to taking a class in high school, and then building on my interest in college, in many ways the…
I’ve brought back my Portrait Parties! This was the third party in the series after a long hiatus from last year. The idea is very simple: I gather a small group of people, we throw ourselves a little party, and I take portraits of everyone. Each participant contributes to the party too, and we all get to connect…
This industry sure knows how to throw itself a party! I was thrilled when The Pearl asked me to photograph their inaugural showcase last week. The Pearl is a beautiful new venue in the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco. It’s been open just under a year and is full of distinctive artwork from artist Alexis Laurent. I…
I love getting to kick off each new year with a little gathering of my friends as I indulge in a bit of a birthday celebration. Last year, we took a pottery class, while the year before, we threw a swanky party in the garden at my studio. This year, I riffed on the crafting theme as…
I flew over to New York City and took a bus with Jesse up to Boston so we could join our friend Bob in celebrating his birthday in style! This is a small departure from my usual flowery posts and wedding photos, but it’s really just a better glimpse at my photojournalistic side… with plenty of epic party…
