Bernhard Volkwein – Photography
Professional Photographer for Portrait, Fashion & Events
Passion Meets Expertise – Bernhard Volkwein Photography
As a professional photographer with over 18 years of experience, I bring a unique combination of technical expertise and creative vision to every project. My career began in Hamburg’s media world, where I worked at Tomorrow Focus AG in the film and internet broadcast department, gaining my first access to prominent personalities and high-end productions.
My Journey to Photography
After my time in Hamburg, I deepened my cinematic knowledge at the renowned SAE in Berlin in 2003. This education shaped my understanding of light, composition, and visual dramaturgy – skills that today form the foundation of my photographic work.
Since 2006, I have worked as a passionate freelance photographer and have had the privilege of learning from industry greats. Formative encounters with Mario Testino and Olivier Brozille have sharpened my eye for fashion photography and expressive portraits.
International Perspective
My international experience spans Germany, Spain, and all of Europe. From 2015 to 2017, I lived in Mallorca before relocating to Barcelona. Since 2022, I am based in Germany again, living on an idyllic Black Forest farm near Wolfach. This cultural diversity flows into my work and enables me to authentically implement the most diverse visions and styles.
