Get to Know Me
Hi! My name is Ana Karen Garro, and I’m a Latina photographer and filmmaker based in Chicago. I was born with a camera in my hands and a passion for storytelling. Through film and photography, I love capturing the world as I experience it, finding beauty in the overlooked and looking for the corners of the world that not everyone gets to see.
My photography work spans commercial projects, portraits, and weddings, while my work in film is often drawn to Latinx stories and stories centered around women. Regardless of the project, I approach my work with curiosity, an open mind, and a genuine passion for the stories worth telling.
Whether I’m collaborating with a client or exploring personal projects, my goal is to create meaningful work that captures something real and invites people to look a little closer.
If you have a project in mind, a story to tell, or an idea you’re excited to bring to life, I’d love to hear about it. Let’s connect and see what we can create together!
