Welcome to Corinna-Rosa Falkenberg

There are moments in life it becomes challenging to remain optimistic and positiv. We are all surrounded by conflict, envy, insecurity and misfortune. This might create feelings of insecurity and fear. Some of us successfully look away from the abysses of life wearing their rose colored glasses, whereas others lose faith in life and let sadness become the conductor of their daily actions. There is a correlation between fear and empowerment. Between comfort zone and freedom. Between insecurity and happiness. Instead of of blaming “others” - the “other” culture, the government, the company, the rules, the neighbor, the lover, the “other” thought or “other” world view - look within you instead of judging. Claim your power back, don’t remain in the victim role and be the change you ask from the world by living a reflected life. Become the driver of your life to the best possible. I am deeply convinced that our world needs more positive inspiring impulses. I believe in the good, the considerate, the reflected opinion and action. In what I can do to make something happen or preventing something. Within my limiting range of possibilities, I want to inspire empathy, tolerance and empowerment by focusing my photography work on people and their surroundings. I want to inspire through sharing their stories.
