Manja Wachsmuth

Auckland

Manja Wachsmuth comes right out of the Scandinavian photographic tradition. Her work is fresh and beautifully lit like the long summer nights and sharp winter days of her native Denmark.

Despite her youth, she has several years of experience from the Danish editorial and commercial markets. Her clean and simple style has impressed clients as different as the food giant Arla Foods, German Dr. Oetker and several exclusive food magazines.

To take her passion for food photography to a higher level, Manja has now packed her bags and left her homeland to work and live in New Zealand, where famous Kiwi chefs like Annabel Langbein and Peter Gordon have already discovered her work.
