I photograph people – their character, presence and the way they connect with each other and themselves
people
the setting changes every time. the attention doesn't
Some sessions are just you, and some fill the room with a whole family. Some people stand in front of a camera for the first time, and some arrive knowing exactly what they want from it. Everyone gets the same attention
the session
just bring yourself
The light, the frame and the timing are mine to look after. When a bit of direction helps you, I give it; when it doesn't, I stay quiet and let the moment do the work
We take it slowly, in a studio, at your home or somewhere in Berlin that means something to you, with space to arrive into yourself before the camera starts to matter

I'm Maria. I photograph people in Berlin
My work moves between portraits, families and editorial commissions. Whatever brings you in front of the camera, the process is the same: collaborative, calm and attentive
workshops
