Photographer & Art Director

creating visual worlds for hospitality, brands and people.

Photographer by craft. Art director by instinct.

Anna doesn’t only photograph what is already there. She helps hotels, brands and destinations decide how they want to be seen — and then she makes the images.

Services

Three ways to work with Anna.

Every project starts with a feeling, not a shot list. Anna shapes the visual world around it and stays behind the camera to make it real.

The full production

Concept, art direction, photography and models — everything from one hand. If the story needs people, Anna and Niklas appear as a real couple on camera.

Art direction & photography

From the first idea to the final frame: concept, location, styling, set and shoot. You bring the people and the product.

Photography

You bring the concept and the team, Anna brings the eye. Campaigns, editorials, spaces and people, shot with intention.

Studio · Stuttgart

wild:studios, where concepts become sets.

Anna’s own daylight space in Stuttgart. Siren, Muse and Goddess were built here: sets, light and styling under one roof.

About

Drawn to the space between people and places.

Light on a wall, the way a room changes when someone walks in. Years of photographing people taught Anna to see what can’t be staged. Art direction lets her build the world around it.
