Jennifer Markwirth completed her training as a design assistant at the Carl Severing Vocational College in Bielefeld, where she studied analogue and digital photography alongside other artistic techniques. After spending three years at an advertising agency, she changed career paths, completing an apprenticeship at the Senckenberg Research Institute from 2003 to 2005. This involved working in the collections and laboratories. From 2006 to 2022, she worked on various projects at Goethe University and the Senckenberg Research Institute, focusing on archaeobotany and paleoanthropology.
Since 2023, she has been responsible for graphic design, the photography department and the photo archive at the Frobenius Institute. Her responsibilities include archival and reproduction processes to preserve the collection, expanding the image database and providing scientists, publishers and the media with image templates. Alongside her role at the Frobenius Institute, Jennifer Markwirth is a freelance artist specialising in self-developed and alternative photography and printing techniques from botanical art.
