About

Gebhard Krewitt, photographer

Born and raised in Burgsteinfurt, Westphalia, I studied art and sociology at various universities in Germany. After graduating, I began as a freelance photographer and member of the photography agency VISUM in Hamburg.
Through corresponding commissions for agencies and magazines, the specialization on people in the workplace on behalf of companies developed. The Spiegel editorial office still calls when a special portrait is expected in NZ. However, business photography such as portraits of employees or topics for corporate publishing have been my main focus for years: employer branding photography with a focus on scientists in their natural habitat.

Thanks to my international exhibitions, my fine art photographs are part of various public and private collections worldwide. I have also worked as an art consultant and curator on multiple occasions and have been the subject of both artistic and academic research. In 2015, I was nominated for the Global Peace Photo Award.

For more then 10 years I live in Nelson, New Zealand. Today, I work on documentary projects that are often characterized by a personal perspective and in-depth research.
