Short CV

Bree is an austrian born fine art photographer and artist. Her work has been nationally and internationally awarded, exhibited in seven european countries and is being represented by the gallery of Marion Stöter in Hamburg.

Bree is known for her masterly use of light, cinematic black and white photographies, harmonious composings and combinations of photography and painting within her big format artworks. Bree’s work has been described by a FEP judge to hold „a very unique approach“. A close colleague described it with the words: „Bree breathes light“.

When living in Austria Bree developed a highly renowed photo studio, won several awards, taught the masterclass of the „Austrian Academy of Photography“ and held workshops for e.g. Hasselblad and photo::vienna at the museum for applied arts.

Since 2018 Bree is living and working in Mallorca. You can visit her Atelier in Son Carrio, where she keeps on expanding her artwork portfolio. Bree has been a passionate image creator for more than 20 years.

Long time project

Within her project “passionate about” Bree portrays inspiring personalities from science and art including CERN Director General Fabiola Gianotti, Nobel-Price Winner Prof. Jack Steinberger, Dancers from the Vienna State Opera, and many more. 

Personal

I have always been an observer. Photography made me a reflective and analytic person too. I passionately love to create with light and in case something can be produced without Photoshop I will do so, as this is what I understand as mastery of the basics. 

Motivation

I hope to encourage people to look deeper. It seems important to me that my art affects the viewer in a positive way, because – as Richard Avedon mentioned – images of the bad, the ugly, the violating only bring up more of the same.  When portraying scenes in the great outdoors, nature and the power of its elements lead me to recognize a bigger picture. I observe and experience the laws of nature: change and balance. Much more than showing the actual place itself my aim is to reveal this power to the viewer.“
