Mafalda is a young photographer living in Heidelberg, Hamburg and Freiburg. Being born into a family with a lot of experience in the field of visual media - her grandfather already had a well-known atelier for photography (Fotostudio Börsch, Wiesbaden) - she took her first pictures at a young age influenced also by her father (photographer/cameraman) and her mother (director/author).

 

After several internships in the medias (Second German Television ZDF) she now focuses on photography. She made her first experiences in fashion photography while working as styling assistant for Hamburg based stylist Regina Hackert doing advertising shootings. Coming to Paris in 2012 Mafalda started to shoot in the streets and has been inspired by the city since then. Until now, she mainly focuses on street photography and portraiture. Mafalda studied at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales in Paris and the University of Heidelberg.
