Wolfgang Nebel

Wolfgang Nebel, is a German Professor for Information Technology and Photographer, born 1956 in Wanne-Eickel.

He discovered photography as a means of expressing himself already at school. First there were the technical aspects that interested him, later the formal design and finally addressing specific projects. As co-founder of the still active "foto-ag" of the University of Hannover Wolfgang Nebel communicated intensively with contemporary photographers. He was in particular inspired by Heinrich Riebesehl, Michael Schmidt and Lee Friedlander, but also by earlier photographers, in particular Ansel Adams and through a personal aquaintance with Otto Umbehr, known as Umbo. During this period, among others black and white series on industrial workspace or the planting of the urban landscape. Works of Wolfgang Nebel from this period have been shown in group exhibitions: of photo-ag.

Due to his professional activities Wolfgang Nebel has reduced his photographic commitment after completing his electrical engineering studies. The passion for photography has remained inspired by the Dusseldorf School of Photography under Bernd and Hilla Becher, in particular Thomas Struth and Andreas Gursky.
