Portraits & Travel Photography

For people who want to feel seen, not just documented.

My Top 5

Five places that changed how I see the world. Not the most instagrammed. Not the easiest to reach. Just the ones that taught me something about light, people, and what it means to actually be somewhere.

Do you recognize the countries?

DESTINATIONS

A stunning view of the Rialto Bridge in Venice with wooden gondolas docked on the canal beneath a bright blue sky.
A person standing on a foggy grassy landscape in Fanal Forest with an ancient, twisting Laurel tree and mist-shrouded trees in the background.
A narrow, lively street in a European city with tall buildings, balconies, shops, and festive decorations hanging overhead, leading towards a historic church steeple in the background.

Hey there!

I’m Marie – a portrait and travel photographer based in Germany. I create photos of people who think they’re not photogenic, and places that feel more like feelings than destinations.

My goal? To inspire your next photoshoot or travel adventure, whether you’re planning a weekend escape, chasing breathtaking hikes, or searching for unique places to stay. This blog is about real experiences and practical tips.

Here’s to the next adventure – let’s make it unforgettable!

Cheers,

Marie
