about me

Melina Sauermann is a queer photographer, published poet, and podcast host from Hamburg, Germany. With a passion for capturing moments, she began exploring photography at a young age and has always been captivated by the art of freezing a moment in time or revealing her unique perspective of others through her lens. After completing her studies and earning a degree in photography, she now works professionally as a portrait and concert photographer.

Alongside her photographic work, Melina is currently expanding her creative practice into social media management. Drawing from her background in visual storytelling, branding, and audience engagement, she works as a Junior Social Media Manager at the Anti Boring Content Club, where she contributes to developing aesthetically cohesive online presences that fit the brands she works with. 

Melina also used to be one of the hosts of the girl stuff podcast, a digital platform that spotlighted standout Gen Z talent in entertainment and beyond. With a focus on creating a relaxed, authentic space, Girl Stuff allowed creatives to share their stories on their own terms, free from the constraints of traditional press interviews. "A podcast that feels like a warm hug and a heart-to-heart FaceTime with a friend, each episode, invites you to slow down, grab a cozy drink, and dive into real, unfiltered conversations about life’s highs, lows, and everything in between."

In February 2024, Melina reached a new creative milestone by publishing her debut poetry collection, well sh!t, a bold exploration of identity, resilience, and self-discovery.
