Portrait of photographer Lena Fischer (placeholder)
Self-portrait in the mountains (placeholder)

I'm Lena. I was born in Salzburg in 1989 and have lived in Innsbruck for many years. The mountains on my doorstep were my first school of seeing; the northern coasts came later.

My photography is slow. I often return to the same place until light, weather and mood come together. What interests me is less the spectacular subject than the stillness in front of it.

When I'm not photographing, I hike, read, or sit by the window with a coffee, watching the Nordkette.

Gear & workflow

Little luggage, plenty of time

My kit is deliberately small: one camera, two lenses and a solid tripod. Everything else stays at home. Most of the work isn't in the bag but in the time before the exposure — waiting for light, returning to the same place, listening to the weather. I work almost entirely with natural light.

Prints & licensing

Common questions

  • Fine art prints Yes. Selected images are available as limited fine art prints on Hahnemühle paper in three sizes. Just write to me with the image you have in mind.
  • Licensing For editorial and commercial use I grant licences limited in time and territory. Tell me the use, print run and format and you will receive a quote.
  • Commissions For selected projects, yes — mainly within Europe. Tell me a little about your project and the timeframe.
