"I am a German photographer currently based in Düsseldorf, specialising in beauty photography.
After completing my studies in Communication Design, I founded my own scouting agency and collaborated with a wide network of renowned model agencies, placing new face models worldwide.

I gained valuable assisting experience in London, completed a Master’s degree in Photography, and now work as a freelance photographer.
My approach to creating eye-catching content combines a deep understanding of casting and production with creativity. I am inspired by unique beauty and feminine strength, and I have a strong passion for detail and colour harmony. As a result, I handle everything from art direction to casting, alongside photography.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch – I look forward to meeting you and discussing ideas."
