Birgit Krippner.

After finishing my master degree in Graphic Design I spent two years living in Vienna. During that time I was introduced to New York City. Coming back to Vienna, I quit my job - and six month later I moved to NYC - where I ended up living for eight years.

From New York to New Zealand. For the last ten years I’ve been living in New Zealand. 

Besides being a photographer and travelling the world, I am also judging serveral photo competition for I-Shot-It: The Best Photo Competition.

Private View: Since June 5th 2011, I’ve been working on a project, photographing New Zealand artists and gallery owners in their space. Some of these artists are well known and established, some others are new and emerging talents.
All of the photographs are being taken with a Leica camera and a 50mm, f1.4 lens. I only use available light, which excludes a flash light. This project is also becoming a book in the future.

Past exhibitions April/May 2013:
