Berlin based

contemporary

photographer

Nadine Elfenbein lives & works in Berlin. She is a graduate of the Lette Association Berlin and works in the field of contemporary photography.

Her photographic practice moves between documentary & staged approaches — conceptually, she works at the intersection of reality & fiction without clearly separating the two. The main focus of her work lies in lifestyle, fashion & music.

Elfenbein primarily photographs people. Her portraits focus on expression, presence & personality beyond outward staging. She frequently collaborates with artists, dancers & figures from the music & fashion scenes.

Formally, her work is characterized by a clear visual language, controlled use of light & deliberate composition. The aim is not to elevate the subjects — but to create a focused & direct representation that allows for closeness & reveals individual characteristics.
