Steffen is a Berlin-based photographer with a great sense of curiosity for how other
people live. He is especially interested in the life of those, who find themselves in
extraordinary circumstances without receiving much attention.
For his work, he spends as much time as possible with his protagonists and always tries to become a part of their lives - at least for a while. Although he considers himself to be a documentary photographer, he is always subjective and his pictures are a testimony to his sympathy for the portrayed people. Steffen worked in the film industry before commencing his photography study at the Neue Schule Für Fotografie Berlin, where he graduated in 2015. Since then he has been working on several long-term projects, the current one taking place in the small Caucasian republic of Georgia.
