Anja’s career started in the last decade of the 20th century, with a 3 year apprenticeship in traditional analog photography in her hometown of Berlin.
Just before the year 2000 she moved to beautiful New Zealand … and here she is, over two decades living in beautiful Aotearoa!
Anja loves working with people.
Her ability to easily connect with people and relate to them lets her bring to light and generate the best expressions in people. The process is fun! Professionally and efficiently, Anja assures she can deliver the results you are after.
Anja loves reading, listening to podcasts, taking pictures and travel. Before settling down and create her business and her family, Anja travelled extensively in Europe, the Middle East and Australia (and all of these places are home to an extent, nestled into her heart).
Her biggest achievements, deep joy and growth is encapsulated how much Anja loves being mama to her 2 boys.
She loves living a healthy lifestyle, laugh (and cry) with her kids, exercise and watch movies, disco dancing and conversations. Activities with her teens and friends are usually adventurous and you hardly find her sitting around idling. She is a social connector and thrives with people.
Her photographic specialty is Portraiture …. People in Business, People in Life.
Commercial/Editorial/Products/Food are wonderful.
Weddings, engagements and other events she chooses to photograph only a handful of assignments per year nowadays – a case of quality over quantity and keeping her approach fresh!!
Fine Art and Creative Photography = ExpressionART is her personal fun project. (to be revealed over time)
Health and wellness, and how Anja is involved, ways to support you and your community, can be explored in the section Art of Wellbeing
No one wants to work for a superwoman – they’re just too hard to live up to.
Be human, take time off to go to your kids’ sports days or talk to a friend and be (appropriately) vulnerable.
