Photography

Frey picked up her first camera in May 2003 after doing vegan catering for punk, hardcore and metal bands. She wanted to document these moments to have them as good memories later. She became self-employed as a full-time photographer in 2007 and travels the world to take photos of bands, models, tattoos and documentary photos. She worked with many international bands such as Lacuna Coil, Alkaline Trio, Sick of It All, As I Lay Dying, Cradle of Filth, Stone Sour, Marilyn Manson, Life of Agony, Slipknot, the Haunted, In This Moment, Suicide Silence, Parkway Drive, Comeback Kid, Helloween, Flogging Molly, Street Dogs, Soulfly, Bleeding Through, The Dresden Dolls, City and Colour, Alexisonfire, Napalm Death, Walls of Jericho, H₂O, and many more. Frey is self-taught; she learned everything through books, internet and experimenting. Frey has done several projects and has released four calendars, posters and postcards and she has published four photobooks. She has had seven solo-exhibitions, six in Belgium and one in the Netherlands and also a group exhibition in Hamburg.^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}
