Raphael Mittendorfer is a Vienna-based photographer and Leica Ambassador Austria, working across fashion, portrait, lifestyle, and dance. His background as a dancer trained his timing — a feel for the moment just before it shows.

That timing runs through everything he shoots, whether it's a fashion story, a portrait, or a live event. He reads a situation before it peaks and waits for it rather than staging it.

His images are clear and deliberate, built on precision and presence. He has worked with leading brands and institutions across fashion, music, and culture.
