The Founders & Creative Directors
Maxine
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
I found my creativity in photography. I love to reinvent myself through photography, especially while focusing on concerts and fashion.
Our Writers
Meggi
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.
Ilayda
I’ve spent most of my life looking for pieces of myself in places they probably don’t belong. In stories written long before I was born, in songs that seem to remember things I’ve forgotten. I’ve always liked the idea that someone, somewhere, might have found the words for something I’ve spent years trying to understand. I suppose I hope to do the same, on the off chance that something I put into words might feel familiar to someone else.
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
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.
Eliza
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.
Sabrina
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
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
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
(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.
Michelle
I write about the stories and emotions that shape music, culture and conversations. While exploring the impact of media and pop culture, I like to put a particular focus on the voices of women and their evolving place in the industry. I am especially drawn to interviews that go beyond the surface, uncovering the perspectives and personalities behind the work.
Ravgun Kaur
I believe in the simple brilliance of philosophical rambling, and how a single thought can lead to completely unexpected territory. I tend to start writing about one thing and end up sharing deeper thoughts on something else entirely — unexpected, and hopefully worthwhile. I want to delve deeper into everyday things — literature, music, life in general — and share whatever I find along the way. Sometimes you'll find me writing experimental poetry, or short stories, too.
Philine
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.
Nicole
I love writing about music venues where artists first started out and the rich histories behind them. London is full of iconic spots that musicians performed at earlier in their careers, which have inspired cover bands and lots of new artists hoping to follow in their footsteps.
Will
I've always loved writing, but music and pop culture gave me something to write about. I've been fascinated by the cultrual impact of music for years and I love bringing those topics to light.
Mary
I was a very shy kid, so I found my solace in writing, where I could say whatever I wanted to a blank page. This hobby turned into a passion, which turned into a lifeline, which is (hopefully) turning into a career! I am mostly inspired by poetic lyrics in songs I repeatedly listen to, descriptive language in novels I cannot put down, and scenes from movies or television that just won't stop playing in my head.
Lena
Interested in all things pop culture, music, and writing. Always happy to discover something new, whether it's an album, a tv show, or a good article.
Our Photographers
Pauline
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).
Roman
Concerts and photography seems like a match made from heaven. I thought the same in early 2023 when I started out in music photography. During the day I'm a programmer who also made this website you're currently on!
Rin
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.
Lilly Marie
I am a music photographer with a passion for capturing raw emotions and storytelling through live performances and artist portraits. My work focuses on creating authentic and visually compelling moments that connect artists with their audience.
Jane
I'm a concert photographer from Hamburg Germany and I love capturing artists in their element und fans enjoying the moment!
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!
Anna
Hi, I'm Anna, a 21-year-old photographer based in Berlin with a passion for capturing live music. I've been pursuing photography since 2016, focusing on concert photography to bring the energy and emotion of performances to life. Being part of The Unseen allows me to combine my love for music and photography, turning unforgettable moments into lasting memories.
Dana Raffaela
I love capturing real, unfiltered moments. There's something so special to the energy of live concerts and events. My approach is all about connection, no stiff poses, just genuine stories told through light, movement, and mood.
Nora
Throughout 2022 and the beginning of 2023 I started to photograph with my phone at shows I went to, in April of 2023 I got to photograph with my camera at a show for the first time and have been doing it since. I love that it´s possible to combine (live) music and photography!
Excited to see what the future will bring!
Emilia
Hi! I'm Emilia :) I love the magic of capturing a moment forever through photography.
It is so special to me to be able to show the world through my eyes and bring my visions to life.
Lea
Usually you'll find me at a concert, somewhere between barricade and moshpit or of course behind my camera. I love not only documenting the energy on stage, but also capturing the little moments in between. Vienna based:)
Laurina
hello!
I'm Laurina from Hamburg, Germany and love to capture the energy during concerts & how beautiful the daily life is!
I will awlays bring my camera.
Tom
Hello there. My name's Tom and you're about to see some of my photos. I like doing street photography mainly, so I can capture life as it is naturally. I try searching for moments that may otherwise be missed. I like to take photos in different countries and cities to try and find what makes them unique and capture a sense of what they’re like. I’m also just obsessed with composition and could shoot pretty much anything if I can find a frame for it. Hopefully that comes across in the photos, thank you for the interest! :)
Fey
Hi i'm Fey, a concert and editorial photographer and videographer from Dresden, Germany.
i started photography only a year ago but i already fell in love with all the endless possibilities that come with being able to capture something with my camera. from real moments to made up stories, small interests or big projects. i love travelling to new places, meeting new people and testing the limits of my creativity. who knows, maybe you're the next one to stand in front of my lens <3
Vlada
My name is Vlada Teaca, and I am a conceptual portrait photographer based in Berlin.
I like to create photographs that blur the line between reality and dreams. My work mostly explores themes of memory, identity, and nostalgia.
Anna Potelova
In my photographic practice, I approach photography consciously and thoughtfully, seeing it as a means of communication and reflection. I am interested in images that carry meaning while inviting viewers to engage more closely.
My work often draws on documentary and conceptual approaches. I am particularly interested in the seemingly ordinary or overlooked, and in how small details can reveal hidden layers and subtle social contexts. My photographs invite viewers to pause and linger, often conveying a quiet, melancholic atmosphere.

Design Team
Miri
Occasionally known as Téa. I started drawing pictures as a kid and now I'm an illustrator and designer based in New York City. I'm inspired by queer and alternative movements – people and communities who build worlds around themselves, independent of the mainstream. My favorite stories are surreal and nostalgic, and the ones that make me laugh.
Maxine

Angélic
My favorite way to design is to get inspiration from literally anything! I love trying new things and stepping out of my comfort zone to discover the style I enjoy using the most.
Ash
Being a fan has been an integral part of my life and I have been editing Instagram posts since I found out fan culture existed on there. My obsession with music fandoms went as far as to study Music Business at uni and now I spend all my time talking about my favourite musicians while getting my degree which is pretty cool. You can always find me at a concert, either photographing, filming or having a party in the back.

Mira
Hi there, I’m Mira, a small-town girl with an international background, chasing big dreams in the music industry. I’m passionate about discovering fresh talent and sharing their work, with the goal of connecting artists to the right people and opportunities. Exploring music blogs to uncover new voices inspires me every day, and being part of that world allows me to turn that passion into real impact.
Lauren
24, Based out of Texas, USA. Traveling the world for live music and capturing the community in crowds is what I live for! My dream is to eventually work with an artist to curate fan experiences and capture what that looks like via social media.
Anne
Hey I'm Anne and I'm all about underground Hip-Hop moments, fresh releases, rising artists, and anything that captures the energy behind the music. I love content that feels alive: artist stories and that unfiltered vibe you only get at live shows. Think visuals that breathe, moments that matter, and a whole lot of love for the music scene.
Lilly
Chronically online with a passion for all things music, pop & fan culture.
I love a good creative concept and creative edit and will talk to you about my favorite music videos for hours on end. °.✧ ⋆
Marie
Hey I’m Marie and I'm currently finding my feet in the music industry. For me, nothing beats the raw energy of a live show. It’s that feeling I want to capture and share through social media. I’m all about discovering new sounds and finding creative ways to tell the stories behind them. If I’m not at a show, I’m probably hunting for my next favorite artist.
Niya
Hi, my name is Niya and I’m from Vienna. As an immigrant, I’ve struggled for most of my life to figure out where I truly belong. Music has always given me a sense of comfort, a feeling of home and the reassurance that there’s a place where I belong.
I want people to feel that same sense of comfort and belonging when they talk to me. Maybe that’s also why I feel so connected to the people who create the music that means so much to me. I’ve probably spent more money on concerts and music than on anything else in my life, simply because I love supporting people who never gave up on their dreams.
Beyond music, I’ve always loved connecting with people from all around the world. In the future, I hope to bring these two passions together and turn them into something meaningful.
Lena
