Her profile:
I started shooting as a teenager because my Dad used to give me his old cameras. So I have used SLRs of all the main brands. My parents took me to travel the world as a kid--Europe, Asia and a bit of North Africa--and this sparked a keen interest in people and places. Later, I lived, studied and worked in New Zealand, Seville, Berlin, London, Paris, Bangkok and Singapore.
In 2002, I started working on social and political issues in Southeast Asia and India. I captured people living with HIV/AIDS, slums, refugee camps, orphanages and the likes. The people were impressive and I learned a lot from them. On the way, I contributed a lot of photos to Southern non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
As a photojournalist I can help to give marginalized communities a face and voice. In the future, I would like to work for magazines whose editors are not afraid to point at injustice. Of course, I am dreaming of World Press Photo and National Geographic--but who is not!

Club 87 in Bangkok
I was fascinated by the girls' silhouettes in front of a screen with moving patterns. |

Clubbing in Singapore
The play of lights and colors is great, like on stage. |

Club Mystique in Bangkok, los Cubanos
Strange angles are everything in club photography! And me kneeling before these happy Latinos brought out their macho attitude even more... |

Club Mystique dancer
Movement is one of the most difficult photographic tasks, especially in the dark. In this photo, I used the night mode plus a weak flash setting. |

I simply enjoy strong colors and close-up shots whenever possible. |

Friends at Indochine
Here I used an extremely low flash setting since the background was much brighter than the human subjects. |

Sage club in Berlin
In such low light, you can only increase the ISO and try to keep your hand steady. |

Sage club door bitch
She was not bitchy at all and struck such a cool "Berlin" pose that I simply had to shoot. I also liked the two-coloured frame as well. |

Sage club bartender
Sometimes I like the blur in low light--as long as I can still see the tattoos clearly. |

Tacheles
This was taken at one of the many techno parties in Berlin. I really enjoyed the decor! Shot using a high ISO and no flash because there was a laser light somewhere in the back. |

Volksbuehne Berlin
This club is located in an area that was once part of East Germany. It has extremely high ceilings from where these kitschy lamps are dangling down from... I liked the reflection in the crystal and didn't bother too much about sharpness. |

Starts with Berlin tango scene...
This club is located in an area that was once part of East Germany. It has extremely high ceilings from where these kitschy lamps are dangling down from... I liked the reflection in the crystal and didn't bother too much about sharpness. Berlin's world-famous Argentinean tango scene features many outdoor locations during the summer. Since I had movement in low light in the foreground, I tried to contrast it with the dome in the background. |
