it's not about creating stories,
but about making them visible.
We binge-watch Netflix, turn page after page in chunky books, and sob our heart out at the cinema — all for that emotional connection, those relatable characters, or moments that mirror our own lives. We all love a good story.
But what about our own? I believe every life is a story worth capturing. Why not turn our experiences into something to remember, something we hold close, like keepsakes collected over the years in boxes or albums?
I'm here to capture your life, the big moments and the in-between ones. It’s not about creating something new, but revealing what’s already there. The stories are right in front of us; we just need to make them visible.
I am not a storyteller. You are.
I am just an observer with a camera.
Hey, I am Lena, a creative mind from Hamburg and always in search for stories to visualize and turn them into a piece of art. I am drawn to storytelling, find my inner peace in nature and feel inspired by music, movies and literature most people would describe as some kind of quiet and melancholic.
I am a documentary photographer, an observer, an introvert & a multidisciplinary creative.
My photography leans into a documentary style, focusing on raw, authentic images you can feel and connect with. I work with a lot of natural light and muted tones to create a timeless, earthy feel, that blends my love for storytelling with nature. True to life, cinematic and artful.
Earthy & cinematic
Artful Imagery
Inspired by the outdoors
I'm here to photograph your story — whether it's documenting your intimate wedding in a raw, honest way, screaming "I do" at the top of a mountain with your closest people, or preserving the everyday moments with your loved ones that mean the most. If you're expecting and want to capture your growing belly, or just want some real, authentic portraits, I’m ready to be there for whatever feels right and true to you.

“Dear Lena, you have done what probably no one else would have done - you have not only captured our most beautiful day forever, but also preserved all the tears, laughs and heart palpitations. We look at our photos over and over again, and feel exactly the same as we did that day. Everything is just right! You accompanied us on that day with so much patience, calmness and dedication, for that we are infinitely grateful. Even when you don't feel comfortable in front of a camera or know what to do now, you manage to create completely natural and pleasant moments. And that's what makes your pictures so special. Thanks a million for your wonderful work!”

“Lena! I am in awe. Truly, yours are my favorite photos ever taken!! The way you captured the emotion of the moment, the moody composition and tone of the story make the photos come to life in a dream state. Also the fact that we captured the Alster which is my favorite place in the world makes me cry of happiness. Thank you thank you thank you! I really love your images and cherish these memories in Hamburg. I just returned to LA and opening these beauties gave me a piece of Hamburg I felt I lost. Thank you capturing my dream Alster shoot, I really enjoyed our time together!!”
