We are Susann and Yannic. We have been together since 2006 – brought together by photography, connected by images, good food, and our love of nature. Photography is our language. We use it to capture moods, tell stories of quiet moments, and reveal the beauty of everyday life. Our visual language thrives on reduction and the conscious play with natural light. It has developed over the years, influenced by analog photography: from slow viewing, intensive engagement with each motif, and a focus on the essentials. A photography education has deepened this path and sharpened our skills. This approach continues to shape our work today.

In addition to photography, food is a central part of our lives. For us, cooking means joie de vivre, creativity, and intuition. The combination of food and photography gave rise to Krautkopf – first as a place for recipes, later as a space for culinary stories, visual narratives, and inspiration. For us, Krautkopf is a growing cosmos in which our passions are constantly interwoven.

After years in the big city of Berlin, we now live in a small village in Mecklenburg. Surrounded by our garden and the changing seasons, nature has become our most important source of inspiration. In our kitchen garden, we nurture vegetables, herbs, and fruit from seed to harvest. The seasons set the rhythm – they shape our cuisine as well as our work. New flavors emerge from whatever is currently growing: from special varieties, wild herbs, or unusual parts of plants.

Our garden is more than just a place of cultivation. It is a space for observation, learning, and creative design. Here we experience nature in all its complexity and find new inspiration every day. For us, the house and garden are a living studio – constantly changing, full of possibilities. A place where we have arrived and where our stories unfold.
