Cellina Von Mannstein

Born 1975 in Düsseldorf (Germany), started out as a production assistant at Cobble-stones Pictures in Hamburg before moving on to director’s assistant and later on to art direction in the film production company. She soon realised that photography was her true calling; creating real narratives with her pictures. Since 2000, she based herself in Hamburg as a freelance photographer.

In May 2002 she moved to New York assisting Terry Richardson, who is her mentor. Cellina struck out on her own again in the summer of 2003, basing herself in Milan and Hamburg.
