Dominik Prinz-Barley

Born in Germany, Dominik Prinz-Barley is currently living and working in New York City, NY/Richmond, VA.

He discovered his passion for photography and the power it has to tell human stories during his work as an activist in the developing world. Ever since has he been captivated by the impact that images can have on people's perception of the world that surrounds them.

Dominik strongly believes that a good picture does not simply capture a moment, but must start a dialogue with the viewer and evoke emotions.

That is why his work focuses on finding and documenting people's courage, strength and optimism. He is convinced that an image can lend a voice to those that have not been given one or live in circumstances that intimidate them to raise it.
