Today we’d like to introduce you to Anastasia.
Anastasia, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today
I am originally from the suburbs west of Detroit. After I graduated with a degree in Journalism from Oakland University, I came out to Los Angeles with the single goal of getting a production assistant job. After waitressing at a French restaurant for a little while, I was fortunate enough to get a Production Assistant job on a Disney movie with Tim Allen who my father knew from Detroit. I worked free-lance as an assistant on several films for almost two years, paying my dues, then began working as a development executive. By that time, I knew I wanted to be a producer and produced a feature film. It was unbelievable how much I learned, it was a great experience. Once finished with the film, Tim returned to stand up comedy and I began to manage his concert dates on the road.
As I was learning the business side of managing a comedy tour, we shot a pilot for a sitcom called Last Man Standing, so I was learning about network television at the same time. Through all of these fortunate opportunities, I used so many different skills I had acquired, but I wasn’t using the part of me I eventually discovered in my photography. So when my father gave me a Nikon D60 camera, I started shooting all the time and it truly was a creative awakening for me. Taking photographs was a reflection of who I was and how I saw things and I respected it greatly. I never stopped shooting. Musicians, comedians, families, weddings, couples who were trying to adopt children, healers, yoga teachers, new business owners, actresses, composers, engagements, on set during productions, pregnancy photos. I took lots of classes and studied great photographers. I received a scholarship to Santa Fe Photography workshops for shooting portraits.
On the last day of the workshop, our assignment was to take a photograph of an old stuntman. I expressed to him that I knew what I wanted for the photo, but I was a bit nervous. He looked at me and said, “who gives a shit if anyone likes your work, it’s not about them. It’s about you.” It was a great lesson for me. That portrait hangs above my desk to always remind me this work I do is for me and if someone else also happens to like it.. wonderful.
