Marianne Stenger

I’m a freelance writer, journalist and photographer with a passion for storytelling. I have over ten years of experience developing engaging content for leading brands and media outlets.

My interests lie in human psychology and understanding what makes us tick. How can we optimise our habits and surroudings to enhance creativity and productivity or generally live happier lives?

Over the last ten years, I’ve had the priviledge of interviewing and working with countless remarkable individuals from all walks of life, including scientific researchers, authors, teachers, artists and photographers.

When it comes to photography, I’m most passionate about capturing candid moments and photographing people and movement. For this reason, much of my photography tends to be related to sports, fitness, and martial arts. With that said, I do love general portraiture and event photography as well.

Does technology connect or isolate? Interview with Eric Pickersgill

There’s a good chance you’ve seen them somewhere; the black and white, slightly spooky-looking images of people staring down blankly at the empty space where their phones would normally have been.

The Five Most Important Things You Need To Be Happy At Work

We're all just chasing happiness, and since work is such a big part of our lives it's often one of the first places we look for it. But what does it take to be happy? Money can only go so far, and a study by Nobel prizewinning psychologist Daniel Kahneman found that happiness only rose in line with salary until people earned around £50,000 a year. After this, earning more money did nothing to boost people's happiness.

Vital Impacts – Interview with National Geographic Photographer Ami Vitale

From telling the story of the world’s last white rhinos in Kenya to the amazing lives of China’s giant pandas, National Geographic photographer and environmental activist Ami Vitale has travelled to more than 100 countries over the course of her career so far. “Photography has the unique ability to transcend all languages and help us understand our deep connections to one another and to all of life on this planet,” says Vitale. “It’s the ultimate tool for creating empathy, awareness, and understanding across cultures; a tool for making sense of our commonalities in the world we share. The genesis of this initiative is to use photography and powerful storytelling images to support organizations working to protect endangered habitats and amplify these critical stories.” We had the opportunity to ask her a few questions about her work as a photographer and environmental activist, as well as the role we all have to play in protecting the planet.

5 ways to celebrate International Women’s Day at school

International Women’s Day is all about celebrating the many social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women throughout history. It’s also a wonderful opportunity to teach kids of all ages about gender equality. Research shows that gender bias at primary school can have long-lasting implications for pupils, and children as young as three years old already become aware of gender differences and absorb stereotypes about the activities, toys or traits and skills that are associated with each gender.

How Expectations Influence Performance

Whether we do so consciously or not, we all form expectations about certain things in our lives, from how much we think we’ll enjoy a particular experience to the expectations we form about ourselves and others. Sometimes these expectations are based on prior experience, but more often than not, they’re based on what we’ve been told or the subconscious beliefs we hold. A growing body of research shows that expectations can influence everything from our perception of taste and enjoyment of experiences to our performance on specific tasks
