When people remember who they are
In retreats, something happens that cannot be staged.
People arrive. They become quieter. More open. More authentic.
What emerges here is not an event. It is a space for development, encounter, and inner movement. These processes are quiet. And precisely for this reason, they require photographic accompaniment that does not disturb, does not direct, and does not want to represent anything. But perceives.
What this is truly about
Many retreat images show atmosphere, but not what is happening there.
The depth of conversations.
The silence between moments.
The inner movement of people.
The attitude with which you hold this space.
This is exactly what EjaFOTO makes visible.
For whom this accompaniment is intended
For people who open spaces for genuine development. For retreat leaders, mentors, facilitators, and teachers who work with groups in depth.
For you, if…
- you follow a vision and create spaces where people truly encounter themselves and each other.
- you are not just looking for a photographer, but an attitude that understands and respects your space.
- you desire flexible accompaniment that supports you at various locations throughout Germany and Europe.
The photographic attitude and complementary perspectives
During the retreat, I move mindfully in the background. Without intervening. Without drawing attention to myself. I observe and photograph from the moment. This creates images that do not explain what a retreat is, but make it tangible how it feels to be there.
What becomes visible through this
These images support your communication for websites, announcements, and invitations in a natural way.
Video recordings and complementary perspective
Additionally, short video recordings are created and, upon request, drone perspectives as well.
This makes visible what happens between the moments.
Why these images have lasting impact
People do not choose a retreat because of beautiful images.
They choose because they sense that this place is safe. That depth is possible here. That they will be seen here.
Making this feeling visible is important to me as a photographer. EjaFOTO stands for becoming visible from the inside out.

For our WOMAN project, we met at Erika’s place to capture portraits of each other and our collective aura through photography. The shared space that Erika prepared and curated for us was magical. The space lent our photo shoot a monumental, sublime atmosphere. Her expert and professional direction and her use of music to shape the atmosphere blended creatively and harmoniously with our ideas and designs. Working with her, we felt professionally guided and in good hands as part of the Inner Circle on a shared mission, as well as energetically uplifted and perfectly captured in our photos! I think it really shows in our portraits. I want to thank you, Erika, from the bottom of my heart!
