About
Welcome.
I'm Annabel, though most people who know me well call me Bella.
This space brings together the different threads of my creative life — photography, storytelling, travel, art, writing, and the observations that shape the way I see the world.
At my core, I am a photographer and visual storyteller. I'm drawn to the details that often go unnoticed: the way light moves through a room, the character of a landscape, the craftsmanship behind an object, or the authentic moments that reveal something true about a person or place.
Curiosity has always guided the way I create. I find inspiration in nature, meaningful conversations, thoughtful design, and the everyday experiences that connect us to one another. Whether I'm exploring a new corner of the world or spending time close to home, I'm continually seeking to better understand the people, places, and stories around me.
In 2025, I founded D'Esterre Studio, a photography and videography practice dedicated to helping brands, businesses, and organisations tell their stories through thoughtful visual media. Alongside this work, I continue to pursue personal creative projects, including photographic print collections inspired by my travels and experiences.
This website is home to my personal creative endeavours, including exclusive print collections.
It's a place to share the work I'm creating, the lessons I'm learning, and the things that continue to capture my attention and imagination.
If you're here, I hope you find something that encourages you to look a little closer, stay curious, and appreciate the beauty that exists in both the extraordinary and the everyday.

Coastline 1 | Rhythms of the Wild
Rhythms of the Wild is a limited edition collection captured along the untouched coasts of Indonesia — where horses, sea, and horizon move as one.
By the shore, wild horses lean into each other - with a gentle scratch. There’s tenderness in the way they meet; instinctive, mutual, and free from expectation.
Ocean Scratches captures the quiet trust of the herd.
Photographed on the untouched coastline of Gili Asahan, Indonesia, this piece is an ode to connection - the kind that doesn’t need words, only nearness.
Each print is crafted on premium 280gsm cotton rag, chosen for its soft texture, true-to-tone colour, and archival durability. Available unframed or professionally framed in sustainably sourced Tasmanian Oak, handcrafted on the Gold Coast and sealed with museum-grade Plexiglass acrylic to protect against UV light and last for the test of time. Please anticipate a production time of up to 3 weeks for framed orders.
At the edge of the shore, two horses touch the water - and the surface begins to ripple. What was still begins to move. It’s a moment of quiet meeting. Between land and sea, creature and element, self and reflection.
Captured on Gili Asahan, Indonesia, Ripples is a reminder that even the softest touch leaves an impact. Every connection, no matter how gentle, changes the surface of our world.
Printed on archival 280gsm cotton rag paper, chosen for its soft matte texture and exceptional detail. Available unframed or custom framed in sustainable Tasmanian Oak, handmade by artisans on the Gold Coast, and finished with museum-grade Plexiglass acrylic to protect and preserve its beauty for years to come. Please anticipate a production time of up to 3 weeks for framed orders.
