In a world where images often blend in, we’re here to stand out.
Welcome to AARTICHOKE STUDIOS. A small, new-ish creative studio with a passion for photography. It’s a studio with an old spirit, young heart and diverse portfolio.
Our Story
At AARTICHOKE STUDIOS, we believe that everyone has a unique story worth telling. Over the years, our portfolio has grown to include a diverse range of creative entrepreneurs and innovative small businesses. We’ve had the privilege of capturing the essence of these visionaries through bold, custom photography that inspires connection and elevates their brand presence.
Our journey began late September 2024 with a passion for collaborating with artists and small businesses, understanding their vision, and translating it into compelling visuals. With a background in fine arts and marketing, our founder, Alana Aphoy, brings a distinctive perspective to photography, blending creativity with business acumen. This fusion allows us to deliver photographs that are not only beautiful but also strategically aligned with our clients’ goals

“Alana has a real skill for putting people at ease—even those who hate having their photo taken—which meant she was able to capture something true about them... The photos she produced were professional, striking, and made our art program look great.”
