The work for the "Land of Tre" Photoproject was carried out in remote villages and settlements along the Ter coast (the south-east coast of Lapland on the White Sea). Among other things, the photoproject set out to reveal the severe beauty of the Russian north and to record and convey what remains today of the Pomor culture.

Anna Lutsenko is a portrait photographer. She was born in the far northern city of Murmansk. Notwithstanding the harsh climate and extended darkness, and often turning them to her advantage, Anna devised projects revealing the beauty that can be found anywhere if you know how to see it. Much of her work was done in those kinds of old and difficult conditions, even where no trace of it is revealed by the photographs themselves. Currently, Anna lives and works in St. Petersburg. She is focused on using her rich experience both in her own developing creative efforts and in helping beginning photographers successfully achieve their own creative goals.
