I have been using my camera as a tool of expression since my teens. As a female photographer with a queer gaze, I approach photography as a language of identity and connection – and as a way to imagine a more colorful, inclusive world.

My work is defined by vibrant colors, empathy and boldness. I move between the loud and the subtle, between documentary and fiction, drawn to the spaces in between where images can be playful, imperfect yet stylized, powerful but always tender at their core.

After graduating from design school, I worked for several years as a lecturer, photo editor and art director in music and pop culture. These experiences gave me a strong conceptual foundation, while my photography has always remained spontaneous – guided by sincere curiosity, intuition and the desire to connect with people.

Selected clients include Adidas, Apple, Zalando, McDonald’s, KFC, eBay, PayPal, Spotify and C&A.

My photos have appeared in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Rolling Stone, Nylon, Vice, TUSH, ZEITMagazin and Numéro Berlin.

I have photographed international artists including Dua Lipa, Charli XCX, Yungblud, Zedd, Mac DeMarco, Bruce Dickinson, Badmomzjay, Herbert Grönemeyer, and Sandra Hüller.

I enjoy experimenting with techniques, processes and styles – yet my work always returns to its signature: energetic, saturated and rich in color. For me, photography is not only about the final image, but about creating moments of freedom, joy and empowerment.
