Hi, I’m Mariam, your photographer in Berlin. Happy to meet you!
I offer portrait sessions and the documentation of your events.
In my photographs, I focus on real moments, authentic emotion and the subtle in-between actions that tell the real story.
I approach every session with full presence, letting instinct, light, and a deep mindfulness of what’s unfolding lead the way. My passion lies in capturing what’s real — the warmth in a glance, a spontaneous laugh, a touched smile. These subtle, unrepeatable details are what make my photographs feel alive and deeply personal.

Why Work With Me
A Session
Tailored To You
Every person I photograph has their own story, rhythm, and way of being seen — and that’s where I start. Before every session, I take time to listen: what matters most to you, what you might be nervous about, and what you hope to feel when you see your photos. From there, I shape a session that fits you completely — one that feels relaxed, comfortable, and even a little exciting.
Artistic Co-Creation
My work blends a documentary style with a poetic, artistic eye. My style is intentionally versatile: I adapt my visual language to suit your personality, story, and the surrounding we’re meeting in. Whether dreamy and cinematic or grounded and minimal, every session becomes a genuine collaboration — something we create together.
Presence,
Not Posing
I’m not here to make you perform for the camera. My approach is calm, intuitive, and rooted in connection. I’ll guide you gently when needed — offering small suggestions, creating movement, or adjusting light — but most importantly, I’ll give you space to simply be. It’s a quiet balance between direction and freedom, so your photos reflect your natural self rather than a posed version of you.
Flexibility
And Ease
When we work together, you’ll never feel rushed or boxed into a time slot. I take the time your story needs — whether that means an extra outfit, a spontaneous detour, or staying a little longer to catch that last bit of golden light. I also don’t limit your joy by numbers: if we create more beautiful images than planned, you’ll receive them — at no extra charge.
Emotion-Centered
Approach
My style of photography relies heavily on feeling. I approach every session with full presence, letting instinct, light, and emotion lead the way. My focus is always on what’s real — the warmth in a glance, the softness of a gesture, the delicate atmosphere that lives between moments. These subtle, unrepeatable details are what make my photographs feel alive and deeply personal.
Warmth
And Care
People often tell me that they forget about the camera when we shoot together. That’s my favorite compliment. My goal is to create a space where you can simply be yourself — seen, celebrated, and at ease. I bring warmth, patience, and presence to every project, so that your photographs reflect not just how you looked, but how it felt.
What Clients Say
-
Mariam’s attention to detail and artistic vision truly exceeded our expectations. Having absolutely no photo shooting experience before she effortlessly guided us through the session, making every moment feel natural and authentic (and never awkward!). Her warm and encouraging presence helped us relax, and she managed to capture the spirit of our relationship in a way that feels so genuine and heartfelt. Looking at the photos, we can’t help but smile. The way Mariam played with light, angles, and the stunning Berlin scenery made every shot look uniquely beautiful. We are beyond grateful for these memories and couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to document such a meaningful chapter in our lives. Thank you, Mariam🥺❤️

Mariam Soliman hat für unser Start-up "share" einige Fotografie-, Film- und Videobearbeitungsarbeiten übernommen. Wir waren ausgesprochen zufrieden mit ihrer Arbeit. Sie ist sehr zuverlässig und arbeitet absolut sorgfältig und effizient. Trotz einiger chaotischer Umstände hat Mariam immer kreative Lösungen gefunden. Es war wirklich toll mit Mariam zu arbeiten, zumal sie ein wahnsinnig sympathischer und angenehmer Mensch ist!
