Anya Dennis, a native of Philadelphia, photographed her first subject at age eighteen. While attending Clark Atlanta University she traveled to Ghana, West Africa in 1997. This experience afforded her the opportunity to record the marvelous images that colored Africa’s complex cultural and geographical terrain. In 2000, while conducting independent research in Ethiopia, Egypt, Israel and Brazil, Anya Dennis visually explored religion and its impact on societal norms. Her travels led her back to Africa in 2003, expanding her photographic body of work that includes portraits from Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar. Her travels to South America and Southeast Asia between 2005-2010, were later added to the montage of her photographic stroke.
