rooted in quiet awe & wondeR
Welcome to Henrike Schenk Photography, where I specialize in capturing the timeless beauty of our breathtaking planet through the art of photography; creating imagery for interiors, brands and people who appreciate timeless light and color with a focus on simplicity and lasting beauty.
For the dreamers and the wanderers
I’m Henrike Schenk, a travel and lifestyle photographer inspired by the quiet beauty of the world around me. Growing up close to the beach, I’ve always been drawn to the freedom of the sea; the open horizon, the sense of space, and the calm that comes with it.
Freedom and serenity are at the heart of my work. I’m drawn to soft light, natural textures, muted pastel colors in the moments that make you stop and look a little longer.
But beyond simply capturing beautiful places, there is something deeper behind why I photograph.
The heart of my work
As a maker, I seek to point to thé Maker; God, the Creator of heaven and earth. The landscapes, the light, the sea, the changing skies and all the little details I discover while travelling remind me that beauty is something given, not something I created myself. My work is an invitation to pause, breathe and notice the beauty of creation.
Through my images, I hope to reflect a little of that beauty. To create photographs that bring a sense of peace and freedom into a space, while quietly pointing beyond the image itself; towards the One who made it all.

I had always dreamed of creating a photographic series in Scotland, so this journey felt incredibly special from the very beginning.
We were lucky enough to have almost two weeks of beautiful weather, which made exploring the rugged Highlands and quiet landscapes of the country even more beautiful.
But one of the absolute highlights was a day trip to the Isle of Canna.
There, I had the incredible opportunity to photograph puffins up close; curious, wild and completely unbothered by our presence.
It was one of those rare travel days that stays with you long after you’ve returned home.
Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful travel days of my life.

Mallorca was a trip I originally planned with one purpose: to expand my photography collection. But from the moment I arrived, the island surprised me.
Beyond its beauty, I was drawn to the authentic Mediterranean atmosphere that still exists in so many places; the slower pace, natural colors and a way of life that invites you to pause and simply enjoy what is in front of you.
There is something about Mallorca that makes you want to embrace the simple things. Long lunches, warm afternoons, quiet streets, the sea nearby and the beauty of an unhurried life.
What began as a journey to expand my collection became a collection that captures exactly that feeling; the warmth, simplicity and effortless joy of Mediterranean living.

This collection is called Bohemian Marrakech; and not without reason.
Both times I visited Marrakech, I was completely swept up in its creativity. There is an endless flow of colors, textures, scents and warm-hearted people creating a feeling that is unlike anywhere else I’ve been.
Every corner seems to tell a story. From natural walls and amazing details to vibrant markets, beautiful architecture and the effortless bohemian spirit woven into everyday life Marrakech is a feast for the senses.
I wanted to capture that feeling in this collection; the warmth, the creativity flowing, the colors and the beauty of Marrakech.
Bohemian Marrakech is my little collection of the magic I found there.
