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 – street photographer based near Cologne/Bonn - Germany. At all started in 2020, and ever since, I’ve been addicted to the raw, unscripted rhythm of urban life.
What pulls me in? Freedom. To get the answer to a question you didn't ask. No rules, no labels – just instinct and a camera. I dive into the chaos, not to control it, but to find that blink-and-you-miss-it moment when everything aligns – action, motion, mood. That fraction of a second that feels like truth.
I’m drawn to the absurd, the unnoticed, the beautiful mess of everyday life. Playing with structure, with light, with perspective – crafting scenes that feel accidental and intentional at once.
Style? I avoid it on purpose. Labels box you in. I’m after freedom – to see, to feel, to shoot whatever moves me. That’s the only constant in my work.
...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."
...don't be so serious, the child in me just wants to play...that´s because I press the shutter...
...fleeting moments... just for a fraction of a second everything is as it should be... press the shutter...
...image quality, sharpness and focus are for camera testers...I just press the shutter...
