Architecture, photography, journalism, research …
Mix well = van der Moga Photography
Mireille is a photographer who draws on her background in architecture, photo-journalism and market research when portraying each built project's unique presence. In her personal work she uses photography as a means of posing questions about our choices with respect to how we organize ourselves and the built world and their resulting environmental, social and interpersonal consequences.
She is a licensed architect with a Masters in Architecture and Bachelors degrees in Studio Art and Marketing. Her trajectory has served to enrich her practice in both architectural photography as well as the personal projects she pursues. Born in Romania and raised in New York City, Mireille has been based in Berlin since 2014.
