A N I K A M O L N Á R FOREWORD
Anika Molnár is simply a brilliant photographer. Her range seems limitless… her eye is everywhere.
I had the great pleasure to work with her on ‘Deutschland 86’ and the NETFLIX Mini-Series ‘Unorthodox’ and was again, and again surprised by the strength and depth of her photography.
No matter if she works on sets with limited time or builds her own lavish setups, her work is always distinctive and stunning.
Anika’s documentary work, her stills and – above all – her portraits magnify the moment and find the truth within beauty and beauty within the truth.
Written by Maria Schrader

Anika Molnár | Resume 2020 PHILOSOPHY
Working as a unit still photographer on a film set my purpose and responsibility is to capture the essence of every scene portrayed by the actors together with all the production design elements in a single still image.
As the camera follows the actors, we are immersed in the narrative whilst recording the moving image as if we are in the midst of their conversation – careful camera placement has allowed us this intimacy. This is where the power and magic happens in cinema.
Being part of that creative process, whether through collaboration or observation excites me and empowers me to tell the story with my very own range of still images… which is what I am passionate about.
