This is me.


"Photography is an art of observation. It has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them. " -Elliott Erwitt

 

Hello, I am Nele.

 

A professional photographer based in Auckland, New Zealand.

While I'm originally from Germany after stays in the UK and Canada I've relocated to New Zealand in 2016. I've worked in photography since 2010, but it's always been far more than just a job. My work as a photographer has allowed me to travel the globe and work in a field so diverse that I could find work literally anywhere. 

Over the past 10 years I have gained experience in Portraiture, Wedding, Architecture, Product, Advertising, Sports, Documentary and Children's Photography and I was able to pursue many areas further during my studies for my 1st Class (Hons) BA in Photography and while working towards the MA Visual Communications - Photography.

For me photography is so much more than just pressing a button, it's my way to express emotions, show an opinion or cherish the memories I made at a place.  

The world is a big place, full of stories that just wait to be told and unique places hoping to be discovered. The wonders of nature are marvellous, indescribable, and beyond beautiful.   I grew up with itching feet, open eyes and wander in my heart.

I want to see the world and I'm happy that you want to come on this journey with me.
