Winner of the Krzysztof Miller Prize for the courage to look (2018) and she has won two Grand Press Photo awards (2016 and 2014) for her long- term project Between the Blocks. As a Globe and Mail contributor, she has been covering the war in Ukraine and the ensuing refugee crisis since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion (Grand Press Photo award 2022 for Too precious to leave behind).
Her non-fiction book Zamalowane okna has been nominated for the Ryszard Kapuściński Award - international award, granted yearly for the best literary reportage (2022). This book is about how the memory of the war and resettlement is always with the survivors. Their experiences often remain taboo, even for those closest to them. The parents didn’t talk about what happened and their children didn’t know what to ask. By the time they grew up,it was often too late to find out. In places, they are looking for answers.
She is a grantee of the National Geographic Society’s Emergency Fund for Journalists (project: Virus of fear) and currently working on a photo book.
Anna graduate Press Photography at the Institute of Journalism at the University of Warsaw and Polish School of Reportage.

Winner of the Krzysztof Miller Prize for the courage to look (2018) and she has won two Grand Press Photo awards (2016 and 2014) for her long- term project Between the Blocks. As a Globe and Mail contributor, she has been covering the war in Ukraine and the ensuing refugee crisis since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion (Grand Press Photo award 2022 for Too precious to leave behind).
In 2024 the UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, asked her to come up with a concept for World Refugee Day and she proposed a novel idea: This is the place -featuring portraits of refugees in the places that remind them of home. This project combines photography, text, audio and handwritten notes to reveal how refugees seek to tame their new reality by finding places that evoke positive memories and help them feel at home.
