Nina Wilkesmann – Professional Photo Trainer

Born in Wuppertal, studied in Düsseldorf for 10 years, now she lives in Berlin.

As a professional photographer working in the fields of advertising, fashion and lifestyle, Nina is constantly faced with the challenge of meeting the wishes of her customers while still bringing her own visual signature to the pictures. This is something that makes this job absolutely exciting and varied for her. In her personal projects, she coordinates topics such as alternative life plans and gender studies, preferably while still working on film. Dreamy or direct, sometimes soft, sometimes bold, her works always aim to tell stories. Sometimes their own and sometimes it’s up to the recipients, what they like to see in it and maybe even a piece of their own.
