Lena Mucha
Women Photograph
Berlin, Germany
I am a German photographer based between Berlin and Munich. I work frequently with The New York Times.
After graduating with a Master of Social Anthropology and Political Science from the University of Cologne in 2011, I started photography whilst working in Colombia with different NGOs. My work focuses on stories related to human rights, gender aspects, and social changes within societies and ethnic groups that are mainly under-reported.
I participated in the HEFAT - Hostile Environment and Emergency First Aid Training in Nairobi and the RISC Training in Medellin, Colombia in 2017.
I work for clients such as National Geographic, the United Nations Development Programme UNDP, GEO, Washington Post, CNN, Wall Street Journal, Der Spiegel, ZEIT, Doctors without Borders, ICRC - International Committee of the Red Cross, and Peace Brigades International. My work is published in various international media as Le Monde, Al Jazeera, Open Society Foundation, Stern, El Pais, British Journal of Photography, BURN Magazine, LFI Leica Magazine, 6 mois, Huffington Post, Zenith, UNFPA - United Nations Population Fund, CNRR - Colombian National Commission for Reconciliation and Reparation, amongst others.
I am available for assignments.
