I’m Martin Wacker — a visual storyteller with a passion for uncovering the rhythm, structure, and poetry of the built environment. My work often explores the intersection of architecture, abstraction, and human presence, seeking to frame the familiar in unfamiliar ways.

Based in Germany, I approach photography with a background in film and TV production and a deep appreciation for symmetry, texture, and visual tension. Whether I’m capturing the swirl of a spiral staircase, the geometric discipline of modern architecture, or fleeting moments of street life, I’m drawn to compositions that challenge perspective and invite curiosity.

Over the years, my images have been recognized by international juries, featured in exhibitions, and published in global photo magazines. But above all, I’m most fulfilled when my photos spark a pause — a moment of visual discovery for the viewer.

This site is a curated space for my personal projects, competition entries, and published works. Thanks for stopping by — I’m always happy to connect.

Exhibited in:

Athens, Berlin, London, Milan, Paris, Rome, Tokyo, Washington D.C.
