Born and raised in Germany, Britta studied photography in the UK, where she still lives today. When not in the field, she regularly speaks at European photography festivals and sits on the jury of leading international photography competitions.

Britta’s work has won many awards. Among others, she was awarded the Magnum Photography Award. She was the winner of the Vanity Fair Changing Your Minds Award and is not only the first, but the only female photographer to win the grand title of European Wildlife Photographer of the Year twice.
