Nina Weymann-Schulz
Photographer based in Bielefeld, Germany
The starting point of my work is reportage photography. Here I received - as they say - the best university education in Europe in Hanover and Aarhus, Denmark. In this field, photography is a great excuse for me to discover the most diverse places and living environments – just like I did for "Walz". (And a solid basis for commissioned photography :)
I am also interested in photography in a social, cultural context - secretly always driven by doubts and questions about my own craft, I work on my own artistic projects. Here I question the mechanisms of media making - for example in my book "Searching for the Old Bearded Fisherman". In my work "Chinatownvertical", I process thoughts on the linguistic-cultural perspective on the world as captured in photography. For my master's thesis at Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences, I focused on the technology and history of photography. The exhibition includes objects and experimental works on the camera as well as the chemical and technical process of the image - "Photography as imprint, trace, index".
My current project deals with the mass phenomenon of travel photography on Instagram. @ausgeguckt
