Andrea Otte: "I Hope You Still Believe In Magic.."

"I am Andrea Otte a freelance photographer situated in Antwerp, Belgium, a dreamer and the creator of my own little world.

Just a little lady on a tiny planet, a positive thinker, a seeker of beauty and magic in everything.

I believe life is all about passion and finding your own kind of magic.

My eye for all the beauty around me, big and small, has always been active, but only the last four years I have been trying to capture the wonders of the world, accompanied by my Nikon D5300".
