Ana Cruz

My name is Ana Cruz, I'm 31 years old and I'm from Portugal, (Europe).

In my gallery you can find mostly Photomanipulation works and some Photography, both self-taught.
I've been developing my skills in Photomanipulation for almost 4 years now and, recently I've start adding some digital painted elements. I'm still developing this new skill and I hope to improve much more. Currently I work with Photoshop CS3 and a Wacom tablet.
Photography is still fresh to me and I'm yet in an early stage. I've already noticed some improvement but I want to evolve and progress a lot more. I still have much to read and learn about photography. I've been working with a Sony DSC-H5 and a trypod but very recently I aquired a Canon EOS 450D with a kit of 2 lenses: EFS 18-55mm and EF 55-200mm. I've also aquired a Hama UV filter (for lens protection) and a Hama polarizer filter.

In a general way what started as a hobbie has been evolving into a freelance career oportunity. I've worked already with many clients (particular and companies). I work on a Comission level and my services include image treatment & editing, full photomanipulation & illustration, photography, etc.
To hire my services, please send me an e-mail with detailed information to anacruz.arts@gmail.com. I do not work for free, as you might understand.
