BIO
Annett began experimenting in photography at an early age and she has been using photography as a tool in her work as a designer, art director and entrepreneur for many years. Her experiments with a wide range of cameras, formats and techniques led to the exhibit, MOOD, and features a series of twelve landscape photographs. In keeping with her experimental thinking, she had transformed her Brooklyn apartment into an art gallery last December. She draws inspiration for the current collection from impressions of northern German landscapes - monochromatic, melancholic, mythical, sometimes violent but also elegant and enchanting.
