ALTBAU BERLIN - backlit and unbothered
only the ordinary is ever truly scandalous.
ALTBAU is Berlin - Backlit and Unbothered.
Nothing staged, just the poetry of things left alone.
It’s a fruit bowl dissolving into light.
It’s for those who know that beauty doesn’t always announce itself. Sometimes, it’s how the light hits the coffee cup. A record on repeat.
A room with nothing to prove.
Because the mundane isn’t empty. It’s full of life.
Full of time.
Full of truth.
Key Themes of ALTBAU BERLIN:
Lived-In Authenticity:
Each image feels inhabited and real. Nothing is staged. The charm lies in the messy beauty of real life.Time-Soaked Stillness:
This collection honours what is aged, weathered and slow. The objects in the images, like the vintage typewriter, leather suitcase and antique furniture and crockery, carry patina, memory and grace.Sensual Quiet:
Soft light, rose-coloured tulips out of focus. There is a disinct feminine intimacy in these moments that feels both private and poetic.Soulful Domesticity:
The everyday becomes sacred: tea cups, vinyl records, candy on a table. This is home, unfiltered, yet curated through an atmospheric lens.Berlin Mood:
From vintage glassware to Altbau doors and textures, the collection drips with Berlin elegance - a blend of nostalgia, soul and a whisper of rebellion against perfectionism.
How ALTBAU BERLIN Can Be Used:
Editorial & Storytelling Projects:
Perfect visual anchors for writers, journalists and thought leaders for substack issues, essays or long-form posts that require visuals that hold space for reflection, memory and meaning.Feminine Wellness & Lifestyle Brands:
Perfect for ritual-based products or personal development spaces rooted in softness and cyclical living. Visuals that whisper, rather than shout.Creative Agencies & Designers:
Use in digital templates and client projects for clients whose brands value warmth and authenticity. Beautiful as moodboard material or layout-ready assets.Branding & Web Design
