Currently she owns a DAAD-scholarship for her thesis and lives and works in Buenos Aires. She was born and raised in Germany, where she studied Spanish and Fine Arts (Painting and Photography). In 2005 she travelled to Latin America for the first time which was a turning point in her life. She went back to the continent many times and started photographing social issues in 2006, influenced by photographers like Paolo Pellegrin, Michael Ackerman and Pieter Ten Hoopen. “To me, photography is a way to tell someone’s story. I am not interested in the big issues, but in the small stories of people anyone would listen to. To these people that let me be a part of their lives for a moment that can be a miserable, difficult or also euphoric one, I have a responsibility. “
