About me

 

My name is Asja, I am a freelance photographer, born 1980 in Hamburg, Germany.

At the moment I am based in Hamburg, dedicating my time to photography at the intersection of portrait, fashion and art, both digital and analog.

 

I am a BFF Professional member since September 2016. In 2017 I was one of the selected participants at WEITSPRUNG, an event for upcoming young photographers, organized by Germanys leading Advertising Agencies. Since 2018 I am involved at the Der Neue BFF Förderpreis as mentor among a million other cool projects.

 

I graduated in photography 2015, with a special focus on cinematographic/continuous lighting. Since I am four years old I am involved with photography, spending my adolescence in the dark room developing my black and white negatives. Before I made my talent my profession I did a Masters in intercultural communication, adult education and psychology and was working for the German government in the field of international cooperation as project leader. It was an awesome job! I just love photography so much more, so I quit it and started a new life.

​

Due to living abroad in various countries I speak German, English, Spanish and Portuguese fluently. With French and Swedish I get by. I feel at home in South America as I have studied and worked there for a few years, especially in Argentina and Brazil.

​

Apart from photography you can well talk to me about psychology, digital nomads, lifestyle design, systems optimization, personal development, non-violent communication by Rosenberg, poetry slams, Tim Ferriss and table soccer. (just give it a try!)

I am curious, passionate and if its too clean and predictable it bores me. Photography to me is like playing together with other obsessed individuals, infusing my veins with happiness every day.
