Creating photography and video that captures the atmosphere, experience, and character of luxury hospitality.
I help luxury hotels, lodges, and destination brands communicate what makes them truly distinctive through story-led visual campaigns. My work focuses on the emotional experience of place, from design and landscape to the moments guests actually remember.
Based between Africa and Europe, available for selected commissions worldwide.
Spaces that invite you to pause – to feel, taste, stay. Where comfort meets the wild
Each place teaches us something – about wonder, simplicity, and how it feels to be part of something bigger
When a stay becomes a memory – not because of where, but how it felt
Light on skin. Salt in the air. The small luxuries of being present
Learn More About Me
Hi, I’m Christin, a visual storyteller for luxury hospitality and destination brands.
I create photography and video that capture the atmosphere, design, and emotional experience of exceptional places, focusing on what it actually feels like to be there.
With experience across 90+ countries, I bring a strong sense of place and detail to each project, helping hotels and destinations communicate their identity through thoughtful, story-led imagery.
Trusted by hotels, lodges, tourism boards and conservation organizations across Africa, Asia & beyond
More than visuals
With a background in tourism and a deep love for stories, I approach each assignment with intention – blending research, emotion, and a sense of place.
It’s never just about pretty pictures. I’m interested in what’s behind them: the way a place feels, the people who shape it, the quiet moments that tell you something true.
Sometimes, that means writing, sometimes just slowing down enough to notice. Always, it’s about creating something lasting.
