About
Annika Weertz (*1991) is a freelance photographer based in Germany, whose portraits and documentary projects explore the quieter layers of human experience—such as love, friendship, and family. After studying history, journalism and technical editing, her curiosity for images led her to photography. Self-taught and drawn to storytelling, she creates intimate documentary essays that focus on personal details, with the portrait taking centre-stage. An essential part of her work is her own vulnerability and the attempt not to explain the world, but to make it tangible.
Alongside her freelance assignments—which span editorial portraits for magazines and cultural institutions to selected advertising projects—Annika is committed to personal, long-term projects that allow space for creative and emotional exploration. Her work has been shown in group and solo exhibitions in Germany, the UK, and the USA, and she considers regularly exhibiting these projects an important part of her practice.
Currently based between Düsseldorf and Hanover and open to work everywhere.
