Portrait
Berlin

Sonja Mueller is a Berlin-based, prize-winning photographer and filmmaker whose work balances precision with poetry. Known for her cinematic approach to both portraiture and advertising, she creates visually arresting images that reveal something essential – often unexpected – about her subjects. She began her career immersed in the editorial world, photographing musicians, actors and artists with a unique sensitivity to the space between identity and persona.

Over time, she became known for her choreographed compositions and technically demanding visual concepts – often exploring the intersection of movement, stillness and mood. Sonja’s work stands out not only for its aesthetic clarity, but for the emotional intelligence behind the lens. Her sets are places of presence, where trust is built effortlessly – allowing people to feel seen, understood, and unmistakably themselves.

She leads with instinct, rigor, and a deep respect for collaboration – making her a sought-after partner for clients ranging from global brands to international record labels. Her curiosity is insatiable. So is her drive to create work that carries meaning, not just surface. With precision and a cinematic calm, she creates images that are both luminous and grounded – capturing not just how someone looks, but how it feels to be in their presence. Her refined visual language and intuitive sensitivity make her especially attuned to campaigns that seek timelessness, presence, and depth – qualities that resonate across disciplines.
