Anais Stupka is a Global Creative Director & Photographer whose creative journey began at just 12 years old when she became the youngest winner in the history of the acclaimed World Photography Awards. Shortlisted again in 2020, her work celebrates the multifaceted beauty of humanity.

Growing up across 14 countries, she developed an insatiable curiosity and deep love for the world, always asking herself: What is the kindest, most beautiful way to photograph another being? How can she capture the immense beauty she sees within and around them through art? Her work has since evolved into an authentic, high-quality expression of life, love, and beauty—reflecting her deep appreciation for storytelling, connection, and artistic innovation.
