Portrait of photographer and media artist Evgenia Huber — Evgenia Huber / self portrait

The machines caught up with me anyway.

I haven’t seen aliens, but I’ve swum in the Atlantic and been to Antarctica. I’ve travelled far and met a lot of nice, quirky people who keep inspiring me to make still and moving pictures.

My first degree was in engineering. Then I chose humans over machines and went to the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, surrounded by people from film, music and other creative fields. That’s where photography stopped being a hobby and became a diagnosis. The machines, ironically, caught up with me anyway.

For me the most interesting subject is a human. I’m a portrait photographer looking for something honest and real inside each of us. I like it when you are sad, and I like it when you are funny. I love to provoke, I follow my intuition, and I reserve the right to remain mysterious.

These days I also work with generative AI: the tools change, the eye stays mine. On another note, everyone likes pasta for dinner, don’t they?

„Die Fotografin Evgenia Huber lässt den Betrachtenden ihrer durchdachten Momentaufnahmen in malerische abenteuerliche Welten von Freude, Sexappeal, aber auch Schmerz eintauchen. Verspieltheit und Tragik charakterisieren ihre Werke.“
