About your creative lead
Desirée Hilmer / Artist, filmmaker & photographer
A personal eye.
A thoughtful approach.
I’m Desirée, the multimedia artist behind Realfictionart. I work with film, photography and sculptural art, with a particular interest in people, emotion and how we see the world.
For commercial projects, that means looking beyond a list of shots: finding the mood, details and moments that make your story recognizable.
We begin with what you want to communicate, then shape the concept, coverage and delivery around your audience. From a discreet proposal shoot to a brand production, the approach and crew fit the project.
When a project calls for it, my art can become part of the visual world we create together.
Let’s make something that feels like you.
