Madeleine Weber is a Fine-Art Photographer, a Graphic Designer, and an Artist, whose passion for art and for life is the energy that carries her through every day.

"I am fascinated and deeply touched by nature. Nature is my best friend and my home. I dedicate my life to the beauty, harmony and peace of it. I am an observer of the ever-changing relationships between light, shapes and movements… those endless circles of enfolding and overlapping. Photography, design and art are my ways to express and collect those aesthetic moments and to bring it into a form with my carefully selected Giclée Fine Art Collections which you and everybody can enjoy.
I am always happy when someone finds a moment of peace, beauty and inspiration from the unique plays of form and light captured in my images, because that is the heart and essence of my art!"

Madeleine Weber is a sensitive self-sufficient person whose passion for art and for life is the energy that carries her through every day. Her main inspiration and motivation lie in the many forms of beauty offered by Mother Nature. "To have received the skills I have, and to live in the heart of nature, make me feel blessed by life. I am always happy when someone finds a moment of peace, beauty and inspiration from the unique plays of form and light captured in my images, because that is the heart and essence of my art!”
Living in the surreal beauty of coastal Ireland, Madeleine’s artistic creativity has been flowing non-stop, and any viewer of her world will instantly recognize both her passion and talent. “I've lived here for five years, and am a self-employed graphic designer and photographer... I just wake up every day and LOVE what I see and feel!” Madeleine has travelled in South-East Asia, South America and throughout Europe. A few years ago, she found a home in the county of Kerry, Ireland. From there she has developed her skills and her love of art into a unique high-tech photo service under the business name Calaido Resonance. She is living the dream.
Born and raised in Berlin, Germany, Madeleine’s earliest memories are from time spent on her grandmother’s farm. Finding peace and acceptance when surrounded by nature and animals, is a trait that remains strong in her today. “I am fascinated and deeply touched by nature; it is my best friend and my home. I dedicate my life to the beauty, harmony and peace of it.” The artist within her has allowed her to see details that pass by most people, especially the role of light. “I am an observer of the ever-changing relationships between light, shapes and movements,” she says. Indeed, she becomes immersed in her work, whether she is painting, using the camera, or studying a setting for her panorama projects. At times like this she lets her artistic intuition take over, rather than trying to scientifically or systematically analyse a scene. “When I am taking a photograph, designing promotion material or painting, I don’t think… I say ‘yes’ to what I find appealing in the scene in front of me.” She says these times of being dedicated to a scene, giving her “peace of mind in all its glory”, are the happiest moments in her life.
Madeleine credits her art teacher, Barbara Ehnold Danailov, with awakening the artist inside her, and says that the gift of a camera from her parents suddenly opened a door to the world of photography. “I found a way to capture the beauty of my environment and inside myself.” Making art became her life as she went on to studies in Graphic Design & Photography.
For Madeleine, art is far more than merely something she does. There is a significant spiritual aspect in it for her. “I am fascinated and deeply touched by nature. Nature is my best friend and my home. I dedicate my life to the beauty, harmony and peace of it. I am an observer of the ever-changing relationships between light, shapes and movements… those endless circles of enfolding and overlapping. Photography, design and art are my ways to express and collect those aesthetic moments and to bring it into a form which everybody can join. When I create the paintings or the photographs, I am ‘right here, in the NOW’. I am filled with gratitude and inspiration and I don't get tired of watching the changes of lights... moment by moment, so unique, eternal in the now, and never seen again in the future.”
Today, both personally and professionally, she is a Fine-Art Photographer, a Graphic Designer, and an Artist. She has amassed an impressive list of awards and publications already.
