Fotogruppemunich (52) consists of two photogrraphers, Maik and Marko. They both have different areas of focus but compliment each other quite well. I will present you a couple of their photographs and I strongly encourage you to check their work out for yourself. Their interpretation of Munich (not only) is amazing!
These photographs are HIS original work and I have absolutely nothing to do with them.

Famous Photographer - Walker Evans
Walker Evans (November 3, 1903 – April 10, 1975) was an American photographer and photojournalist. His unique ability to visualize a moment as though it was already in the past, capturing the raw emotions of his subjects and turning it into a poetic portrayal of the world around him, allowed him to become one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Best known for his work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) documenting the effects of the Great Depression.
“When I first made photographs, they were too plain to be considered art and I wasn’t considered an artist. I didn’t get any attention at all. The people who looked at my work thought, well, that’s just a snapshot of the backyard. Privately I knew otherwise and through stubbornness stayed with it…” – Walker Evans
Must-watch - Pecker (1998)
Drama/Comedy ‧ 1h 27m
Release Date: October 9, 1998 (Canada) / Director: John Waters
A teenage boy, obsessed with photographing everything he sees around him, is seized upon by an aggressive gallery owner from New York who views the youngster as fresh young talent worth entertaining, but as his success and fame grows, the boy finds himself less welcome in his home town and decides to turn the tables on the elitist art snobs of the city.
A great movie with an indie feel that is heightened by the artistic genius of John Waters behind the camera.
