BIOGRAPHY
Volker was born in Hamburg, a picturesque city in north Germany. He spent much of his youth traveling with his mother visiting around the world experiencing different cultures.
His father was a professional photographer and this is where it all started. The combination of deep imbedded visual images from his journeys and the art of photography guided by his father paved a path for a strong passion.
But before he decided to make it a priority in this life he started working in film. With over twenty years of experience producing throughout Europe, Africa and the US, Volker has built a reputation for understanding the essentials of filmmaking as well as photography, and for building strong and supportive relationships with clients and agency creatives alike.
After graduation, his one-year residence in New York inevitably linked Volker to that country both professionally and culturally for the years to follow. With his intuitive sense of detail and deep appreciation for the visual and artistic aspects of photography, he naturally gravitated toward the highly specialized field of lifestyle and fashion photography.
Volker began his photography career by working as a freelance photographer for some of Germanys leading clients.
In 1996, Volker decided to leave Germany behind and satisfy his passion for adventure. He moved to Los Angeles and worked again as a freelance photographer for a variety of companies.
Volker enjoys the challenge of bridging the cultural barriers between the countries, and bringing two creative teams together to take pictures with artistic impact and international appeal.
