Anne Holmes is a self-taught freelance photojournalist and writer based in Bangkok, Thailand. Clients include The New York Times, The Montreal Gazette, Reuters, IRIN, IPS, Handicap International, and ZMagazine. She also developed a highly popular blog which has been picked up by the likes of Andrew Sullivan, PBS, Wired Magazine's Defense Tech and The Danger Room, and Wikipedia just to name a few.

Born in Germany in 1974, she has travelled extensively since early childhood to Europe, North America, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. She speaks French, Spanish and English fluently.

A woman of many hats, she has worked on numerous projects including a documentary film, Someplace Else, which aired at film festivals around the world. She received a bachelor of fine arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2003. Her artworks and photographs have been exhibited in Japan, Kenya, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and New York City.

Driven by the desire to communicate with a larger audience beyond the elite world of fine art, and haunted by the imagery the Iraq war brought to daily news, Anne Holmes all but abandoned painting and sculpture to persue her photojournalistic ambitions in January of 2007. Since then, she has completed reports on social and humanitarian issues in Iran, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Thailand, Chad and Kenya. Her style combines traditional journalistic content with a deep knowledge of the history of symbolic visual language.

Most recently, Arte/France and ZDF/Germany aired a special program about her work during the Kenyan Crisis.
