Here are some facts about me
Hello, I’m Celina-Marie Kuehne, a passionate student at St. Edward’s University in Austin, TX, where I am exploring my love for art and photography. Originally from Germany, I’ve been calling Austin my home since November 2019.
My journey has been shaped by a deep love for travel and exploration. Growing up, my parents and I traveled extensively across Europe, visiting remarkable countries like Italy, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and many others. Each destination offered new experiences that expanded my perspective and inspired my creativity. Since moving to the United States, I’ve continued this passion for discovery, exploring beautiful places across the country and capturing them through my lens.
Through my studies, I’ve developed a solid foundation of technical skills and have built a complete photography studio at home. This has enabled me to refine my craft and experiment with various styles and techniques. My photography is not just a hobby; it’s a way for me to connect with people, evoke emotions, and share the beauty of the world as I see it.
I invite you to join me on this journey of creativity and discovery through my work. Whether it’s capturing the vibrant energy of a city, the serene beauty of nature, or the candid moments of life, my goal is to tell stories that resonate and inspire.
