I was immediately struck by Anna Maria Langer’s color portraits when I came across them on LinkedIn. I knew immediately I would refer any Köln based web design client needing photography directly to her. Designing a website with her imagery would be an absolute creative joy.
Tell us a little about you. How did you get your start? How long have you been in business? Describe your style of photography.
As an intersectional feminist, I firmly believe that our world is more beautiful in its colorful diversity. I photograph stories of inspiring women* and their brands using empathetic and empowering storytelling.
My work focuses on portraiture and beauty photography, always focusing on women in their diversity, strength and beauty.
My photographs also feature themes of body acceptance and diversity: Be your own beauty standard. I aim to contribute to greater representation, inclusion and empathy.
My clients are founders, creatives and brands that stand up for women’s rights, female empowerment and diversity and develop products by and for women.
The feel-good factor is always at the forefront of my mind during every production – whether for a branding session or campaign.
What is your approach to a brand shoot?
First I am happy to send you my personal branding and photoshoot guide as well as my pricelist. For teams or other projects I will draft an estimate just for your photoshoot. Next we will schedule a call and discuss all the creative details for your photoshoot. I will finalize a shoot plan and we are ready to go!
This workflow will vary a bit depending on the type of photoshoot we are planning.
What type of clients do you like to work with? Any specific industries or sectors you like to work with?
I am mainly working with women* and brands with a focus on diversity and sustainability.
What are 1-3 tips you’d give to people preparing for a brand shoot?
- Prepare a mood board so we have some visuals to discuss.
- Have a clear goal in mind for your brand shoot: do you need new personal branding imagery? Or would like to visually update your brand communications? A clear goal will help you realize the best results.
- Also: do not forget to plan your outfits or get the help of a stylist.
When is your busy season?
This varies every year and I always try to accommodate my client’s timelines.
How far in advance do you need to be booked?
2-4 weeks is ideal to plan a photoshoot, depending on the complexity of the shoot more time should be reserved.
Do you travel? How far are you willing to go?
Definitely! I travel across Europe for my photography.
