I'm Si Wachsmann, an award-winning photographer and experienced producer whose work moves fluidly between documentary imagery, fashion photography, and moving image. I have produced short documentaries and music videos, demonstrating strong organizational skills, creative leadership, and the ability to realise projects from conception to completion. My multidisciplinary background in photography, film, and production gives me a rare blend of creative sensibility and logistical know-how, allowing me to unite artistic vision with professional execution. My work explores themes of motherhood, queerness, identity, and politics, using visual storytelling to connect personal experience with broader cultural contexts. Growing up in a household of filmmakers and artists, I developed an early understanding of image-making and collaboration, laying a foundation for a flexible practice that can adapt to different formats while maintaining a clear artistic intent.
