Profile picture of Anna Kaesser

With a photojournalistic approach to photography, Anna focuses on telling stories through her images, capturing the split-second moments that define peoples experiences.

An Officer Cadet from the senior division takes a nap as she waits for a section of Officer Cadets to arrive and the training scenario to begin. The bottle of fake blood used to stain her trousers stands on the ledge above her. 

Research and process

  • A group of seven young people stand and sit on the top of a tank. Half of two buildings with open gaps instead of windows are either side of the tank
  • A group of young men pose for a group photo. The front row of four kneels, the back row of four stands. They hold a rifle and smile.
  • Two Officer Cadets lie on top of each other on a grass covered hillside.
