Visual storytelling at the intersection of documentary and editorial, grounded in lived experience.

Annette partners with publications, organisations, creative teams and individuals to bring ideas into focus and stories to life, working from Berlin and across the Nordics and DACH regions while taking on select global projects.

Her practice sits at the intersection of documentary and editorial: observational but warm, intimate but not invasive, aesthetic but authentic.

At the centre of it all is her genuine, insatiable curiosity, which guides how she sees, works, and tells stories that feel both honest and very much alive.
