Richter is a New York-based photographer, installation and collage artist working across fine art and commercial for the luxury and beauty sectors. Her style is defined by a distinct visual language, bold color compositions, and a sensibility that pairs refinement with an unexpected, rougher edge.

Born in Berlin and raised in Cap d’Antibes, in the South of France, she holds a master’s degree in Political Science (Sciences Po) and a master’s degree in Anglo-American Studies (La Sorbonne, Paris). She worked for several years as a freelance journalist and image director for the Chanel group before dedicating herself fully to photography, initially based in Paris, and since 2016 in Miami and New York.

Her practice spans photography and video — still life, portraits, parts, and travel images — which she often transforms into collages in her studio, using sets and props she creates herself from recycled materials. She is drawn to unlikely juxtapositions, humor, and subtext, and is known to slip hidden details into her images.
Clients including Tiffany & Co., Chanel, Harry Winston, Chopard, Chaumet, Repossi, Roger Vivier, Ralph Lauren, Lancôme, Estée Lauder, Diptyque, YSL Beauty, Kiehl’s, Sephora, and Vogue have sought her out for her singular eye.

Her personal work engages the same visual methods to explore subjects closer to her — among them the habitus of the privileged classes, which she documents from something close to an insider’s perspective. She is currently developing an artistic documentary project on the recent transformation of Miami, Florida. Underlying it all is a belief that the visual artist, like the poet, must make herself a seer — in Rimbaud’s sense: clear-eyed about the world as it is, and awake to what others prefer not to see.
