Siegfried Hansen detects visual compositions in the colours and lines of everyday life, which he turns into ‘street photography’. It is not faces or bodies that are at the heart of these pictures, but rather graphic relationships and formal connections between the individual elements in the pictures.
It reveals the always surprising aesthetics of chance in public spaces. His works has been published in the books Street Photography Now and 100 Great Street Photographs. His own photo book, hold the line, has been published by Kettler Verlag. Born in Hamburg, the photographer has received numerous international awards for his work. He shares his experiences and approach in workshops.
