Nina Weymann
Human, female photographer based in Bielefeld, Germany and the presents.
To reflect the role of the medium and myself as a photographer I combine (personal) text with the images in artists' books and exhibitions.
My applied (magazine-) projects are based on a journalistic approach. Typically I get as close as possible into communities with an alternative lifestyle, spending time and living with them. To convey atmosphere and emotions into photographs the light, colors and materiality are important to my photographic style.
