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 the built world, how we organize ourselves, and the resulting environmental, social and interpersonal consequences.
She is a licensed architect with a Masters in Architecture and Bachelors degrees in both 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.
