MANDY HELLINGER
 WEDDING & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY

I became a photographer for my love to all those beautiful moments and details that you can easily miss out when you just don´t pay attention. For me, photography is a way to express myself, a way to get in touch with people and to explore this beautiful world around me. I feel incredibly lucky to have a career that continually feeds my creative spirit and brings so many inspiring people into my life. I want to show you how I see the world and capture images that move people and become timeless memories. The influences that shape my pictures are various. My studies of art history and restauration of paintings as well as my different personal artwork have been crucial. I put a lot of passion in my work. Taking photos has been my hobby for quiet a long time; however I chose to move further and reached a professional Level with the help of specialized courses, my own Research, practical experience and your feedback.

And if I´m not behind my camera . . . I make my kids dance when playing my accordion; restore old paintings; design our wild garden in Portugal, stretch myself after the sun and drink very hot latte. But above all I try to find some quietness in the usual chaos of being a mother of three children and to always keep an eye on the essential things in life. The same is important for my work as a photographer.  Portugal is the country of my dreams and my second home.
