Matthias Barth

Matthias Barth is a self-taught photographer, translating his distinct visions of the world into imagery of epic proportions. While today he is primarily based in Munich, his journey through his viewfinder has expanded and evolved into one of international exploration. Renowned for his eclectic portfolio, Barth captures the essence of both natural landscapes and urban jungles, drawing inspiration from his extensive travels and transforming ordinary scenes into extraordinary visual narratives.
Rediscovering the world through his cameras, Barth employs a unique amalgamation of analog and digital techniques - from traditional film techniques alongside a mastery of drone photography and post-production skills. Barth's style has and continues to evolve dramatically. His style is not singular but experimental, perpetually changing to match the energy and evocations of his subjects. Barth's approach often results in photographs that border on the surreal. Coupled with his acute awareness of light, he manipulates his photographs to capture the world from diverse perspectives. His work thrives on his embracing of a variety of means, methods, and motifs to permeate his practice.

My photographic and artistic career began in 1995 with my training as a cameraman at the Bavarian Academy for Television. After graduating, I initially worked as a beauty photographer, where I developed a keen sense for aesthetics, light and composition. In parallel, I worked as a cameraman in the advertising industry, on documentaries and for television, deepening my skills in various visual genres and techniques. In 2016, I specialized in drone photography, a technique that adds a new dimension to my work. It allows me to capture extraordinary perspectives and express my passion in an innovative way.
