About Artist

Emy Maike

Born on an island in the Philippines and based in Germany. I am a self-taught amateur photographer guided by instinct, curiosity and raw passion. Every time I step outside-or retreat indoors photography becomes an intense search for fleeting moments in time. Whether in the city, surrounded by nature, or experimenting within my own space, I chase light, emotion, and atmosphere. Through my lens, I capture mood and every stories with a restless desire to learn, evolve, and turn ordinary moments into something deeply felt. Exhibitions: In year 2019 I had opportunity to showcase my work at the company Lützelschwab AG, Hauptstrasse 1, 4313 Möhlin, Switzerland.
