Anna has been working professionally as a model since 2002 and is one of a very small number of professional blind models working in the UK.  Despite the work opportunities for disabled models still being limited, she has managed to build up extensive experience in the industry, working for prestigious organisations, legendary photographers and internationally renowned artists.  

 

The range of images on this page reflects the diversity of the modelling assignments she has undertaken, which have ranged from highly stylized shoots for artists and fashion articles, through to consumer and lifestyle publications, and publications for the corporate sector.

 

“When people think of modelling, they usually think of catwalk models,” says Anna.  “As a model with a disability, and at just 5 ft 2 inches, that’s never going to be my line of work!  But thankfully, the industry has far greater scope than that.  Models with disabilities are now being featured more widely in publications and in advertising campaigns, and artists are increasingly becoming more interested in making us the subject of their work.  Every modelling assignment I do is interesting and unique and helps to promote a positive image of disability.  It’s slow, but changes are finally happening. People are gradually becoming more open-minded and inclusive about booking models with disabilities and I am excited to be working in the industry during this important time of change.”
