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.
Hey! I am Lena, a documentary photographer, an observer, an introvert & a multidisciplinary creative.
At the age of 15 I decided to pick up a camera, and from then on it was a slow but natural progress. But I'm not just a photographer. I like to call myself a multivisualist, as I just love to express stories through different mediums. As a designer I worked for various design agencies and I used to illustrate and sketch a lot during my teenage years. I am a visual person, but work with concepts and vision.
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.
Hey There!
About
INTROVERT — INFP-T / TYPE 4 — DESIGNER — TRAVEL ADDICT — DOCUMENTARIAN — CATLOVER
I love hiking, being in nature, all stuff creative, and time with my close ones.
I live in Hamburg Altona in Germany, but nature is where I feel most at home. I’m into outdoor adventures, wether it's hiking up mountains, road trips, or chasing sunsets at the beach. In 2022/2023, I spent 9.5 months traveling the world and lived a few months in a van in New Zealand. While I came home, part of my heart is still out there in nature.
When I’m not creating or traveling, I enjoy the little things — re-watching the "Dinner Party" episode of The Office, collecting quirky stickers, or sending memes as my love language. I pet every cat that crosses my path (and get sad when it doesn’t show interest), could eat pasta for days, and get way too excited about lighting situations.
I could say that photography is my greatest love. But that would be a lie. Almost as long as I've been taking pictures, Felix has been by my side. We've been together for over 14 years now and I couldn't imagine being without him. He is my true love, my best friend, my biggest supporter, my travel companion, my personal barista (hmm coffee) and so much more. I love documenting our life together – both our adventures and everyday moments.
I know firsthand how valuable and meaningful it can be to capture a life together. My mission is to help you preserve your unique stories and experiences in a personal and authentic way that reflects your individuality.

“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!!”
