URBAN PHOTOGRAPHY

BY  MARTIN WACKER

I'm Martin Wacker, a Hamburg-based photographer with a passion for the poetry hidden in concrete, steel, and glass.

Trained in film and TV production, I see architecture the way a cinematographer sees a scene - through light, geometry, and unexpected angles. My work has been published in Smithsonian Magazine and recognised by international juries from Tokyo to London.
