About
I’m Lena, the Face behind this creative space.
I love a lot of stuff, that’s why I can’t decide between Photography and Design and call myself a multi-visualist. Currently working as a Designer for Sherpa Design in Hamburg, I love to create holistic brand stories through Design, from Brand Identities, to Print and Digital Experiences and even Illustration.
Photography is my second passion. My photographic style is mostly documentary-driven, real and raw with a touch of an editorial vibe. While portraits hold a special place in my heart, I also specialize in capturing the stories of couples, families, and intimate wedding celebrations for adventurous humans.
When I’m not at my desk, you’ll probably find me somewhere in nature. I love the outdoors, traveling, hiking and exploring new places. Always with me: my camera.
I am currently representing 500px as a Brand Ambassador.

Client Love
“I am absolutely thrilled with Lena's work! As a photographer, I was looking for unique branding that would perfectly reflect my personality and style, and Lena far exceeded my expectations.”
“Right from the start, she took the time to really get to know me and my business. The logo she designed is simply outstanding. It's creative, professional and personal at the same time. Lena was incredibly pleasant to work with. She was always open to feedback and requests for changes, and her professionalism and friendliness made the whole process even better. I felt really supported and knew that I was working with someone who really understood my vision. I highly recommend Lena to anyone looking for unique, customized branding that stands out. Her creativity, dedication and talent are second to none and I am so happy with the outcome. Thank you so much, Lena, for expressing my photographic identity so beautifully!”
