ABOUT ALANNA

I am a self-taught photographer who first delved into the medium back in 2007. In 2011 I left my full-time job to pursue photography full-time. My current work focuses on cityscapes, architecture and drone photography.

My inspiration for photographing Detroit revolves around its legacy of historical buildings. My eye naturally alights on the beauty that still exists, and this is what I most strongly attempt to convey in my work: highlighting a scene's details, light and textures.

From 2011 to 2019 I sold my photography at Detroit's best known art fairs, but I have since retired from them and sell my work through this website, and also continue to work with client's both locally and internationally.

Each year I travel someplace I have never been, I am always on the lookout for an interesting historical building to photograph!

A few pursuits I enjoy besides photography: cooking, spending time with my sister Dana and friends, reading, drinking tea, and playing with our cats Jinx and Zuko.
