I am a Berlin-born documentary photographer exploring themes of representation, environment, identity, and social activism, often through long-term projects.
My work has been featured in international publications including NPR, The New York Times, Die Zeit, Bloomberg Businessweek, Al Jazeera, TIME, DAZED, and WIRED. I am a Pulitzer Center grantee and an International Women’s Media Foundation Fellow.
NPR: ‘The Busiest Place You’ve Never Seen'
You’d be forgiven for thinking that life on Tristan da Cunha is quiet: a hammock-strung-between-two-coconut-palms kind of existence, somewhere in the shimmering blue Pacific. It is anything but.
Kunsttraject Amsterdam: IJnimfen outdoor exhibition
A selection of images from my series IJnimfen will be on display from March 4th until May 1st 2026 at the fiets/voetgangertunnels op de J.M. Kemperstraat/Van Limburg Stirumstraat and Van der Hoopstraat/Van Hogendorpplein in Amsterdam.
IJnimfen is part of the art route ‘Women of West’.
