Your passion. Your personality. Your moment.

Through My Lens


Irish dance is full of strength, expression and individuality. My photographs celebrate the dancer behind every step.


Your Photoshoot Experience

Every Irish dancer has their own story, personality and style. My Irish dance photoshoots are designed to capture exactly that.

From elegant portraits in your competition dress to relaxed, natural moments and creative dance photography, each session is shaped around you. We can explore beautiful city locations, capture movement and strength, or create something with a modern fashion editorial feel.

I offer private Irish dance photography sessions across Europe and at selected major championships worldwide, including the World Irish Dancing Championships and North American Irish Dance Championships.

Whether you're celebrating a special achievement, updating your dance portraits or simply want photographs that show who you are beyond the stage, we'll create images that feel personal, natural and uniquely you.


Irish Dance Photographer for Feiseanna, Championships & Portraits

I’m Cathrin Andel, an Irish dance photographer based in Vienna and a professional photographer since 2011. As an official RCCEA photographer and the mother of Irish dancers, I know what goes into every performance, from the hours of practice to the pride of the whole family. My photographs have appeared on the cover of Irish Dancing Magazine, and I photograph dancers at feiseanna and championships worldwide, as well as in private portrait sessions.
