Elisabeth tells stories with her camera that touch the heart. Her eye is curious, precise, and always in search of the genuine moment - whether in documentary or fiction. She loves being close to people, responding intuitively to situations, and creating images that are not only seen but felt. What truly sets her apart is her keen sense for moods and her ability to make atmosphere visually tangible. Her training as a media designer for image and sound at Bavaria Film in Munich and her cinematography studies at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg have taught her the craft. But it is her passion for storytelling that brings her images to life.
