The Founders & Creative Directors

Maxine

Maxine

Creative Director, Design, Photographer & Interviews

I love to capture little moments in busy streets, but for our magazine, I mostly take editorial, portraits and concerts shots. You can sometime find me reviewing concerts or talking about all and everything during a hot chocolate in interviews with our guests.

Fernanda

Fernanda

Creative Director, Photographer & Reviews/Interviews

I found my creativity in photography. I love to reinvent myself through photography, especially while focusing on concerts and fashion.

Our Writers

Ilayda

Ilayda

Head of Editing & Writer

Most things in my life come back to observation; the way people move through rooms, the silence after a song ends, the stories hiding in things we don’t say out loud. I’m drawn to the in-between: the almosts, the not-yet's, the moments that feel like they’re about to become something. That’s where my work sits. Somewhere between clarity and the parts I haven’t figured out yet.

Giulia

Giulia

As the world seems to hurl past me, I find myself compelled to catch up. A way to stay present for me is by appreciating art, from fashion to cinema to music. This means making art accessible and thus engaging readers, as sharing my love for culture is one of my greatest passions in life.

Lars

Lars

Writer

Being brought up under deaf parents, as a partially hearing child, I have always struggeled with my search of identity. Inspired by far-distant worlds like middle earth and the tunes of Lord Huron, my goal is not only to tell great stories, but also to understand other people and their tales.

Meggi

Meggi

Head of Writing & Writer

Everything around pop & fan culture has been an integral part of my life for over 10 years and I have the urge to tell everyone about it.

Eliza

Eliza

Writer

My name is Eliza, but most people call me Eli. I love to write anything that interests me, from journalism and short stories to poems and screenwriting. I also love photography and the arts, like zines, painting, drawing, jewelry-making, as well as adventures like concerts, road trips, and late-night drives.

Annabelle

Annabelle

Writer

As long as I can remember, I have been absolutely obsessed with literature and cinema - for me, both have been a way to not only explore different lives and experiences, but what moves contemporary society. Therefore, I love to explore how literature and cinema connects to societal developments and the green light it can offer to understand ourselves and our surrounding.

Sabrina

Sabrina

Writer

I love sharing the things that bring me joy and make me feel at home. Whether it’s stumbling upon hidden gems, experiencing unforgettable concerts, or finding inspiration in art, books, and film, I’m always chasing moments that matter. Life keeps me moving, and through writing, I get to share my adventures and my love for the artists who inspire me. There’s so much beauty out there waiting to be seen and appreciated!

Frederike

Frederike

Writer & Interview Coordination

Pop culture is my passion, and concerts are my second home. At Unseen Magazine, I dive deep into underground scenes, uncover unheard voices and bring new artists into the spotlight. I aim to showcase Berlin's vibrant music scene and what the mainstream bubble hasn’t discovered (yet).

Laura

Laura

Writer

The excitement and emotions of loving something so deeply, let it be a musician, song, concert, books or even sports, has always been a prevalent and influencing part of my life. Time goes by so quickly, and I love to indulge in the sense of community being experienced in music, with book-lovers or sports fans. My favorite part is the very connection you share with people, strangers becoming friends and the joy of discovering something new that you learn to love. Sharing my passions, newest discoveries, new/old recommendations and so much more is what brings me joy in my spare time and is what I like to do as a writer for this magazine.

Andy

Andy

Writer

(Live) music is one of my biggest passions, which is why I enjoy exploring pop culture in my writings. From analyzing albums to reviewing concerts. I'm especially interested in fandom culture, which often comes through in my work.

Daria

Daria

Writing, for me, is more than just words on a page. It's a bridge between minds. I write to share stories and topics that deserve to be seen, especially those that speak to the heart of community, culture and music. I believe in the power of words to raise awareness, to bring light to what’s overlooked, to start conversations that matter. In a world full of noise, writing lets me slow down. Through writing, I reach out - to inform, to interact, to invite others into reflection. It’s how I contribute to visibility and understanding.

Michelle

Michelle

I write about the stories and emotions that shape music, with a special focus on the artists who bring them to life on stage. My work often explores the cultural impact of music through the lens of live performances and pop culture. Highlighting the voices of female artists and their evolving place in the industry is especially important to me, and I love conducting interviews that uncover the artistry and personality behind the music.

Kira

Kira

Writer & Editor

As a little girl, my biggest dream was to stand on a stage and share my songs with people who can relate. It turns out that that’s a lot harder than it seemed. Still, there is a similarly electric feeling in the crowd, spending the better half of the evening with like-minded people. People who you might not know or ever see again, that don’t seem so much like strangers for those few hours you spend with an artist, their fans, and the music. To me, the capacity of music to make fans connect despite who they are is the most intriguing and inspiring phenomenon of all, and my hope is to share it with people as best I can.

Ravgun

Ravgun

Writer

I am a writer who views the world through the lens of storytelling, a practice I explore formally as an English Literature student. I have an insatiable curiosity for new genres, artworks, and ideas. As a writer of poetry and short stories, I gravitate toward poetic lyricism, though I’ll happily indulge in a catchy beat with gloriously brainrot lyrics when the mood strikes. My creative and academic passions are deeply intertwined, revolving around queer theory, gender studies, existentialism, and gothic horror, romanticism, and tragedy (basically anything that echoes Edgar Allan Poe or Shakespeare).

Philine

Philine

writer

I love expressing myself through writing. But also through fashion and art. My body is a museum for all the cool tattoo artists I've come across. As a booklover and helpless (hopeful) romantic I love to indulge in the sweeter stories of life. Writing is my way of empowering women and fighting the patriarchy. I also want to bring the joy and community of female friendships to everyone through my texts. Your online bestie if you will, that shares the best books, crafts and maybe a recipe from time to time.

Our Photographers

Pauline

Pauline

Concert Photographer, Concert Coordination & Head of Finances

I’ve loved photography since I was a kid and (live) music has always been such an important part of my life, getting to combine both of those things is a dream come true. I also love urban and street photography, especially while traveling. Any of my friends can tell tales about having to wait for me while i take pictures wherever we go haha. So: if you’re ever looking for me, chances are you’ll find me and my camera at a concert or out somewhere traveling (or at a concert while traveling).

Hey! I’m Rin. There has always been an underlying longing for the picturesque deep within me, something that could only be pleased by picking up cameras. And that’s exactly what I have been doing ever since. I mainly frame people in music related settings, because emotions will always be what catches my eye. So be on the lookout next time you’re crying in the front row, I might have taken your portrait already.

Noah

I’m Noah, a photographer from Hannover. I started taking photos in 2015 – at first just random snapshots of my life. Over time it turned into planned portrait sessions, published and personal documentary projects, and, of course, concert photography. I love capturing the energy of live shows: fans crying or dancing to their favorite songs, artists going wild on stage… those raw and meaningful moments are what made me stick with photography – and especially concerts.
Catch you in the crowd!

Yoel

Yoel

Editorial Photography

I'm a parisian photographer with a background in film and cinematography studies (Cinema is actually my first passion), but photography has always been a big part of my life, so much that I made it my job. One thing that also defines me is Music, from alt-rock to jazz to punk to folk and so much more. I’ve always believed one of the most exhilarating experience is watching your favorite artist live, and it might also be the best place to make the most memorable images — which makes concert photographer a 10/10 job.
