Nadja, where are you from and where do you live now?
I grew up in Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. The stations were Karl-Marx-Stadt, Wolfen-Nord and then Stollberg / Erzgebirge. Bielefeld was my home for 10 years, with the beautiful Teutoburg Forest. But in 2023 it was time for a change and now I live on the Baltic Sea in Flensburg. I feel right at home here and enjoy being able to simply go to the water.

How would you describe your artistic style?
That's not an easy question. I like my photos colorful and bright. Likewise, I like clarity and patterns. Especially in the forest but also in flowers are these to be found. With my photos, I would like to present the ordinary, as we walk past every day, in an artistic and curious way.

What's on top of your bucket list (as an artist or just as a person)?
As an artist, I would like to see a little more of our planet. I am very interested in Northern Europe: Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Scandinavia. But I'm exclusively drawn towards nature. As a person, I would like to do a chin-up without support.

New York or remote mountain hut?

Becks or Merlot?

And a little Proust: What is your idea of perfect happiness?
Being with my husband on long walks. The roaming around with the camera, just blocking everything out and just being in the moment.

Which living person do you most admire?
I admire no one in particular. But I admire people who are always calm and firmly anchored in themselves. And people who, no matter what happened to them, get up and follow their paths.

I’ve changed my mind about…
Nutrition. I've been a vegetarian since 2019 and I'm doing very well with it. And I also leave out the industrial sugar.

What most people don't understand is that…
we only have this one planet and that it should be the most important for us to protect and preserve it.
