Manfred Haupthoff

Essence of my artistic life: I am and remain curious and always ready to go new ways in photography.
Essential projects of the last years are my series "Momentum" which captures the timeless spirit of cities, landscapes, lonely and hidden places and my series "Heimstatt" which shows the timeless living spaces, dreams and places of people without bringing the people involved into the picture. All my black and white camera obscura photograph are also a small reminder of Nicéphore Niépce who in 1826 made the world's first ever photograph with a camera obscura in an over 8 hour exposure.

ART= HUMAN= CREATIVITY= FREEDOM

Photographer education

My outstanding thanks at this point to the great photographer Pan Walther, without whose inspiration and comprehensive artistic guidance my photographic path would probably not have been possible.
