Representative Dr. Anna V. Eskamani

One of my favorite things about photography is the access it can bring. In 2020 I came across Representative Eskamani on Instagram. Somehow we ended up following eachother. 😭😭😭

I sent her a cold dm and asked if I could take her portraits. She obliged and within a couple weeks was at my studio!

“Anna is a bold and unapologetic fighter for Florida families and everyday people. Born and raised in Orlando, she’s the daughter of working-class immigrants who came to Florida from Iran in search of the American Dream. Anna went to Orange County Public Schools and the University of Central Florida. She earned dual degrees as an undergrad and graduate student, works as a nonprofit professional, and completed her PhD in Public Administration from UCF in 2024.

A bridge builder, Anna flipped her legislative seat in 2018 and won her re-election by an overwhelming majority in 2020, 2022, and 2024. She made history as the first Iranian-American elected to any public office in Florida and has championed critical issues like housing affordability, tax breaks for working families, environmental protection, equality for all, funding for public schools, human trafficking and sexual assault prevention, and support of arts and culture funding. With a track record of kind sacrifice, endless hard work, and iron-clad values, Anna is known across the state and nation as a lader who is unbothered, unbossed, and committed to the people of Florida.”
