saltyfaces captures the essence of ocean-loving individuals through photography.

Hi, nice to see you here!

Hello, I'm Julia, the founder of SALTYFACES. I'm a Berlin-based photographer passionate about capturing the human spirit around the ocean. My documentary and editorial work has taken me on an incredible journey around the world, where I've had the privilege of empowering individuals through photography and supporting vital social causes. I believe in the power of photography to tell stories that inspire, connect, and make a positive impact.
