Brands I’ve worked with

A black silhouette of a person wearing headphones and looking at a laptop.
The text 'Berliner Zeitung' in a Gothic font style.
A black and white photo of a person drinking coffee, wearing a hoodie and sitting at a table.
A close-up of a person's hand holding a pen, writing on a sheet of white paper.
Silhouette of a person running against a sunset background with a large tree and hills.
A simple illustration of a baseball, a baseball bat, and a baseball glove.
A dining room with a wooden table and light-colored upholstered chairs. On the table, there are several loaves of bread, and a plaid table runner. Large windows with white curtains and some greenery in the background are visible, along with a modern light fixture hanging from the ceiling.
A woman with shoulder-length brown hair laughing or smiling with her hand covering part of her face, sitting on a wooden chair with a yellow cushion, wearing a light blue striped shirt and off-white pants with thin vertical stripes; background is a plain wall with a framed black and white abstract art.

Why most hotels, brands
& founders stay invisible.
Even with great work.

Most brands don't struggle because their work isn't good enough. They struggle because their visuals don’t carry the story.

The work is there. The depth is there. But what people see often feels flat, inconsistent or forgettable.

And the right clients scroll past, not because the brand lacks quality, but because nothing makes them stop.

This is the gap between a brand that exists and a brand that is felt.

That’s exactly what I’m here to close.

I translate what your brand already holds
into a visual language that is clearly seen, deeply felt,
and impossible to ignore.

This is how I work

Not through one-off shoots.
But through a visual approach built on three layers.

01
Visual Clarity

Your brand becomes instantly recognisable.

No noise. No inconsistency.
Just a clear visual language that
reflects who you are.

02
Editorial Storytelling

Your values, spaces and work turn into
imagery that builds trust.

Not staged. Not generic.
But grounded in what is already there.

03
Continuous Brand Presence

Your visual identity stays
consistent over time.

So every touchpoint reinforces trust,
recognition and positioning.

If this resonates, I’d love to show you
what this could look like for your brand.

Testimonials

  • „mimi's photos became a visual business card that I still use today. They helped me show up authentically online and build my personal brand, because my personality genuinely comes through in the images. The recognition value is huge and people still comment on them. One of the portraits was even published in Architectural Digest, twice in a row, which gave me a whole new level of visibility."

    Anke Schleicher, Trend Consultant for Home & Living Companies

  • "We hired Mimi to shoot the new employee portraits for our company website [...]. The feedback from the entire staff was consistently positive — everyone felt completely at ease. You can see exactly that in the photos: authentic, professional, and with a very beautiful lightness. [...] Highly recommended."

    Nora Beier

  • A woman with red hair and light skin posing against a plain wall, wearing a vintage white T-shirt with a faded graphic and text, and high-waisted blue jeans.

    “I’m very happy with the results. I’ve rarely experienced a shoot that was so well planned conceptually. Mimi’s open, warm personality makes it easy to relax completely. It’s the perfect setting for authentic, natural photos.”

    Paula Kalenberg, Actress

  • Smiling elderly woman with curly gray hair wearing a white blouse.

    “The resulting photos are wonderfully authentic and perfectly capture that special atmosphere. We are huge fans of Mimi’s beautiful work.”

About

I'm mimi vollgraf — a Berlin-based brand photographer and creative director for premium brands, boutique hotels, and conscious founders.

I don't just take beautiful photos. I build visual identities that make brands clearly seen, deeply felt, and impossible to forget — strategic imagery that creates visibility, builds trust, and attracts the right clients.

My eye was shaped by a genuine obsession with aesthetics: the perfect light in a room, the texture of good linen, the quiet confidence of a well-designed space. A Taurus through and through — I love everything delicious and beautiful. Good coffee, good bread, sustainable fashion, interiors that make you want to stay.

When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me cooking, traveling in my van, or getting lost in a good table book. Current obsession: Atelier September.

Sustainability and equality shape every collaboration I say yes to.

Member of Female Photoclub.
