Photography as Presence, Connection & Creative Exploration
A gentle space to rediscover your vision and reconnect with yourself through the art of seeing.
Welcome, I’m Ute!
I’m a photographer, educator, and guide who believes that creativity begins long before we pick up our cameras. It begins with presence — with slowing down, noticing the light around us, and finding our way back to a deeper sense of connection.
My work is for curious, sensitive, wholehearted people who want more than technical instruction.
It’s for those who feel the pull toward creativity, nature, community — and toward a more mindful way of being in the world.
If you’re longing to:
rekindle your creative spark
explore photography as a form of inner grounding
reconnect with wonder and emotion
learn to see light in a new, soul-filling way
join a supportive, heart-led community
or step into a new chapter of confidence and artistic voice
…you’re in the right place.
This is photography that doesn’t demand perfection.
It invites presence.
Through mentoring, immersive workshops, meditative photo walks, online courses, and upcoming creative retreats, I guide people toward a slower, more intentional way of seeing — where your images become an expression of who you are becoming.
Choose how you’d like to grow — through mentoring, workshops, community, and creative exploration near and far.

Photography as a Path of Becoming
For me, photography has always been more than an art form.
It’s a way to steady myself, to breathe, to explore what’s unfolding inside and around me.
It’s a way to find beauty in the unexpected — and a reminder that light always returns.
My wish is to help you experience that too.
Let’s walk this creative path together.
