My name is Birka Wiedmaier, I am a native German and before recently moving to Berlin, have lived for many years abroad.
I am a mainly self-taught photographer and photography became a passion, about 10 years ago while living in Moscow. My inspiration comes from the people in the cities where I live. The people of a city, town or village are what define the face and life of their respective places, I like to capture them in candid moments, unnoticed.
Over the years my work has been exhibited in several countries, including Russia, US, UK, Germany, France and Malaysia.
About The Collection
Before moving to Berlin, I lived for one year in Istanbul and instantly was fascinated by the city and its people. I loved to roam the streets and capture little scenes. You can find amazing light, get caught in the markets or packed streets and watching children playing.
