About
Robert Herrmann is a photographer and architect – two perspectives that converge in his work to form a carefully observant and artistically narrative approach to built spaces.
Since the early 2010s, he has dedicated himself to documentary photography of places, buildings, and urban situations. His images depict without judging: neither beauty nor ugliness takes center stage, but rather the act of looking closely – analytically, humorously, and with an eye for situation and detail.
In addition to independent projects that explore the development of his hometown Berlin and urban processes in general, he also produces commissioned works for clients in architecture, construction, and urban development.
