about me
(scroll down)
...if I think, my mind is not free and creative... so I do not think and just press the shutter...
Hey there, I'm Marc, live near Cologne/Bonn (Germany), where I'm hunting for my next shot. Got hooked on street photography back in 2020, and it's been a wild ride ever since. What I dig most? The freedom, hands down. No rules, no limits. Just cruising through city life, chasing that perfect moment in the middle of all the chaos. Snapping that split second when everything clicks before it's gone forever.
I'm totally into the quirky stuff people do in public spaces. But I'm also all about the bigger picture, you know? Shapes, light, perspective and composition. It's the game to bring everything together. People are often cool in my shots, but they're not always stealing the spotlight. That's how I craft my own vibe of city life.
My style - Seriously? I do not want to have one! Only capture cool moments, feel free and do what I want.
...I like to surround myself with people who inspire me, read books that give me new ideas, watch films that make me dream, listen to music that takes my thoughts to the clouds... with all of this in mind, I press the shutter...

"I don't believe that street photography today will still have the significance as a contemporary document that it has had in history. But I am firmly convinced that it will become all the more important as an art form in the context of the speed of our society. No longer capturing moments, but stopping for a moment is an impression that is increasingly missing."
