Leyla Dirim is a Berlin-based storyteller behind the lens—a photographer, photojournalist, interpreter, translator, and web designer, born and raised in Germany. Her work is not just about capturing photos but about weaving together cultures, languages, and perspectives.
On her blog, Leyla shares photographs and reflections from the places she’s explored, with a keen eye for architecture, art, and landscapes. Over time, her curiosity has also expanded into the dynamic world of sports photography, where she captures the energy, emotions, and movements of athletes in action. In photojournalism & stories, you will find some of her favorite moments from sporting events.
One thing you should know: Leyla has a deep love for coffee, especially sade türk kahvesi. It fuels her adventures and creative spirit. Traveling is her heartbeat, and when she’s surrounded by nature, she finds strength, balance, and inspiration.
Photography has been her passion since childhood—a lifelong companion that continues to shape how she sees and shares the world.
