Who is Waldemar actually?

Until now, nobody knew my second name and most of my life I didn’t like it actually. Then I noticed its beauty because it connects trees and water. My favorite elements.

Now you know.

I’m an editorial photographer for music, portrait and travel, based in Hamburg, Germany and I’m keen to capture the subtle for you. I look behind the obvious. I’m more interested in the atmosphere and felt sense than in what’s visible purely for the eyes. I’m drawn to authenticity rather than superficial beauty. I believe this sparks curiosity with the viewer and creates connection. Something we all crave.

I try to be as invisible as possible and immerse in the scene to then be able to capture the invisible from various perspectives. I’m working slowly and carefully to really see those wo are willing to be seen.

This is what you’ll get and see. I am aware that this is different for everyone and I think this is the beauty of photography.

If you feel resonance then we should work together. If you don’t then we’re not a match. And that’s perfectly fine!
