Nadine Elfenbein lives and 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 and staged approaches. Conceptually, she works at the intersection of reality and fiction without clearly separating the two. The main focus of her work lies in lifestyle, fashion, and music.

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

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