Marlies Plank, born 1981 in Vienna started out as a freelance photographer in 2007, mainly focusing on concept and fine art photography. Her images are something dreamlike, almost surreal and very inviting to just pause and dwell in the moment. She has had various exhibitions worldwide and has been featured in Art Magazines and Blogs. Recently she had an artist collaboration with Valentino where two of her collages were used in several collections of Maison Valentino. She loves to try out new things and travel no matter where to – she’s happy if she’s on the road to somewhere.
