Kirsten’s journey began at the crossroads of two distinct cultures—living between Austria and Hungary during pivotal moments of her life. The contrast of western and eastern influences sparked a deep curiosity about the world and its diverse cultures, motivating her to explore traditions and experiences from every corner of the globe.

In 2017, she moved to Toronto, drawn by its cultural richness and entertainment scene. It was in this city that Kirsten solidified her career as an event and festival producer while continuing to capture the energy of live concerts for Aesthetic Magazines and documenting events for NXNE and ELEVATE.

In 2024, Kirsten’s first solo exhibit came to life at WildHearts Café, showcasing her photographs of surfing culture and candid moments from live performances.

Since the exhibit her work has evolved into a deeper exploration of human connection, art and design. Today, Kirsten is captivated by the art of portraiture and the intricate details of human craftsmanship and modern design. Each photograph is a narrative—an honest, intimate glimpse into the stories of people and the beauty of life in motion.

Her work is driven by a desire to capture the essence of the human experience with authenticity and charm, transforming fleeting moments into timeless visual stories.
