Our Writers

Ilayda

Ilayda

For as long as I can remember, the question of belonging has lingered in the back of my mind. As a diaspora child, I carry the weight of leaving and the longing to find home in every place I go. So, I like to write about things that move me - music that lingers, films that haunt, words that stay long after the page is turned. I love to chase the moments that make me feel something.

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

Writer

I like to write about everything pop & fandom culture. Since it has been an integral part of my life for over 10 years I want to write about it for people to get an insight into something they might not understand. I‘d love to shed light onto the misogynistic view on fansgirls/boys. Sport fans and pop music fans are not as different.

Leonie

Leonie

Writer

For several years now, I’ve been attending countless concerts, diving deep into the music, the concept of the show, and how it brings people together. The sense of community and the dynamic interplay between fans and artists fascinates me endlessly.

For this magazine, I want to focus on exactly these themes: fandom, music, live shows, and the incredible feeling of belonging they create.

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

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 enjoy exploring the complex stories and emotions behind songs, with a focus on the artists who bring them to life on stage. My writing often delves into the cultural impact of music, especially through the lens of live performances and pop culture. I'm particularly passionate about analyzing the work of female artists and their evolving place in the industry.

Our Photographers

Cal

Cal

I grew up around cameras - my mother was a professional photographer for decades and as I got older, I picked it up myself, starting with digital and moving exclusively to film: 35mm, then 120, and now 16mm motion picture. I generally like to take photos of street scenes, travel locations, concerts, or people - mostly daily life, documentary photography. Or anything really, as long as it’s on film.

Janne

Janne

Hi! I’m Janne, I study Journalism and Media Management in Vienna, Austria. You can catch me at all sorts of concerts, loads of pop & indie.

Pauline

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).

Jan

Jan

I chase the rhythm of light and sound, freezing the energy of live music in every frame. Berlin based.

Roman

Roman

Hey 👋 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!

Joleen

Photographer & Reviews

I think what I most love about photography is that it can mean something different for everyone. My personal favorite to shoot is live music; concerts were always my safe space, and I love that today I can shoot artists I have always listened to or looked up to. In my pictures, I always try to capture the emotions and the vibe of any concert because I want to create pictures that the artist loves and can look at afterward to enjoy the moment again.

Rin

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.

Lia

Lia

Hi! I'm Lia, and I'm based in Northern Ireland. I specialise in live music and portrait photography, aiming to capture energy on stage with vibrant colours, as well as softer, dreamier vibes within my portraits. When I'm travelling, I always shoot on 35mm film so I can take a step back from overshooting, editing, and then reminisce once I get the photos back.

Philip

Philip

Photographer and Designer

I like to take photos of people in real moments, especially within music, fashion and subculture. I love when visuals feel raw, emotional and cinematic at the same time. Lately I’ve also been moving more towards film to tell stories in a deeper and more immersive way.

Noah

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

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.

Anna

Anna

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!

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.

You know that social media friend all the memes are talking about?- That´s me! I love to produce content that captures the aesthetic in day-to-day life, whether it be capturing the people I love, coffee mugs, or the sky, you can bet that I will find an aesthetic in all of it.

Anne

Anne

Test

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.

Internship

Kira

Kira

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.
