London-based photographer Barbara Anastacio prefers not to shoot in what she calls "the sterility of a studio." Indeed, her work is full of life, full of stories and full of meaning. Even her landscape-focused photography in her 'Northern Winds' series, which was inspired by a trip to Scotland, conveys the mystery in humanity.
Many of Barbara Anastacio's human subjects are those who are committed to something, or in her words, "have a strong sense of 'belonging,'" a feat which means the viewer is held captive to her work.
