While Munich-based Lena Weisbek has been working for decades as a designer and art director, photography, specifically fine art photography, has been her passion for many years. Today, she does mostly art photography, taking on various projects on different themes and developing some art concepts.
When it comes to visual themes and concepts like silence and tranquility, minimalist scenes are often the most effective. This makes winter wonderlands among the perfect places to shoot.
