About Ania

“From my perspective, the craft I practice is structured around reportage and my passion is very much for people - I use the camera to tell a story… but within those broad parameters – my dedication and respect has always been for the willing subjects before my lens”. Ania Grom-Yoncali

Ania was born in Poland in 1971. She moved to the UK in 1993 and obtained her photographic qualifications at Westminster – Kingsway College in 1999. Since then she has devoted herself to professional photography and has been published on many occasions. She has also had numerous successful exhibitions of her work.
