Pauline Kortmann is a photographer, videographer and award-winning animation filmmaker based in Berlin.

She is passionate about stories, human emotions, connection, preserving moments visually, the outdoors and hot chocolate. After an apprenticeship as media designer she studied animation at Film University „Konrad Wolf“ Potsdam-Babelsberg and has been working as a freelancer ever since.

One of her greatest strengths is connecting with people and creating an atmosphere in which they feel comfortable, seen, and genuinely welcome. Whether working one-on-one or documenting events, she quickly builds trust, helping even camera-shy people relax and be themselves. This allows authentic, intimate moments to unfold naturally.
