Kitzbühel is where I was born and raised. As the daughter of an artist, designer, and photographer, I was surrounded by a world of aesthetics. Cameras have been my constant companions since childhood. Yet only in recent years have I begun to see my home with new eyes.
A time of personal challenges led me into nature more than ever before. In the silence of the forests, in the play of light over the mountains, and in encounters with wild animals, I found not only renewal but also a fresh perspective on my surroundings. This opened my eyes to details I had previously overlooked and ignited my passion for photography like never before.
With each photograph, my connection to my homeland and myself deepens. I am learning to practice mindfulness – the presence in the moment that reveals not only the subject but also the wisdom behind it. Patience has become my companion, as perfect light, the ideal perspective, or the trust of an animal require time – a willingness to wait, to listen, to feel. At the same time, I am developing the ability to let go – of expectations, rigid ideas, and the need for control. Only in this openness can I perceive the fleeting, often unexpected moments that give rise to my most meaningful work.
With my art series "KITZBÜHEL UN.TOUCHED", I invite you to see Kitzbühel from new, unusual perspectives. The series is divided into three subcategories: "silent," "wild," and "reflective". Each artwork is certified, limited, and created through pure photography — no artificial intelligence, no digital compositions.
The series shows that photography is much more than capturing a moment – it is a bridge between the inner and the outer world, a mirror of my soul, and a way to share emotions.
