That's me

Ann-Christine, a Hamburg-based photographer with a global reach, brings stories to life through her lens. Her work is bold, sensitive, and brimming with energy. She has a unique ability to capture moments that both touch and inspire. Her photos are often praised for their authenticity and emotional depth – they make viewers pause, reflect, and marvel. Many people see themselves in Ann-Christine's portraits. This is no coincidence, as photography for her is a dialogue, a means of making the connections between people visible.

​

For Ann-Christine, her work is a blend of art, culture, and zeitgeist. Her photos capture more than just a fleeting moment – they tell stories that are dynamic and transformative. Always full of vitality and life, her works reveal a profound curiosity about the people she portrays. She does not seek the spotlight for herself but places her subjects at center stage.

​

Born and raised in Hamburg, Ann-Christine developed a passion for photography early on. She took her first steps as a teenager, capturing friends and everyday moments. Later, her assignments took her to metropolises like New York and Paris to remote locations, all vividly brought to life through her lens. Her work always carries a playful and effortless quality, though each image is underpinned by a sharp eye for detail and composition.

​

For Ann-Christine, photography is a tool for forging relationships – with the people she photographs and with those who view her images. She describes herself as a "seeker of stories." This self-perception highlights her humility, as her true strength lies in capturing the essence of her subjects in a matter of moments. Her photos are like an open diary, where personalities – from musicians and actors to ordinary people – find their place. She has photographed notable figures like Materia, Paul Ripke, and Peter Lindbergh, as well as people who are not famous but are equally captivating.

Ann-Christine has a rare gift for breaking down the distance between the camera and her subjects. Her portraits radiate intimacy and trust, as though they are the result of years of conversation. Her art is vibrant, honest, and always in motion – a mirror of the world as she sees it: multifaceted, surprising, and profoundly human.
