Die Goldene Inge

Die Goldene Inge is a German-based photographer you probably never heard of. And Inge's mission is to change that!

The story of Die Goldene Inge starts back in the days with a nickname awarded to her for her amazing greateness. But Inge appeared only on rare occasions and was moving below the radar. Way too long.

Die Goldene Inge is about realness, joy, passion, and dedication. Without smoke, or mirrors. With her golden force, Inge creates vivid miniatures of her reality to present a colourful interpretation of contemporary photography.

During her school years she joined the photo class where she started to experiment in the darkroom with fellow students. Black and white, portraiture, long exposure and street scenes were her favourite playingfield.

Travelling has always been an essential part in Inge's life and that's where she started to use her camera more excessively. Inspired by the foreign countries, impressive architecture, spectacular places and people living in lively streets.

Street photography was maybe not even a term at that time, but Inge was always fascinated with the people and their respective living conditions. She seldomly took the typical tourist-shots but rather looked behind the n...
