About
Photographer. I photograph places not as subjects but as states: spaces, traces, structures, moods.
Personaljens-hartmann.net
I do not see myself as a travel or landscape photographer in the tourist sense, but as a photographer with a clear commitment to image concept, planning, atmosphere, order and reduction. To me an image is not the snapshot of a place but the composition of a state.
jenshartmannphoto.com is the open door to my work — curated prints and portfolio photography from travel, wildlife, the city and the detail. Alongside it stands hartmann.art, my fine-art platform: there the stricter, conceptual selection; here the works that read at once and can hold a room.
I work with the Fujifilm GFX100 II for maximum image quality and large prints, complemented by a Sony full-frame camera for travel and documentation. Image workflow runs through Capture One — captured with structure, selected with intent.
A large part of these works is made overlanding — on routes, in remote regions, in places in transition. From 2027 this stream of images will keep growing with a longer journey.
This site shows not only images but the seeing behind them. Every work carries three layers: structure, light, print. On entry the image resolves out of its state; on every work page the layers can be called up one by one. For now, structure and light are derived from the finished image; the working states from development will follow. The state first, then the subject.
The works are kept as a catalogue, not a gallery: every work is a sheet with its reference, year and — where editioned — its edition. On the front page one work hangs at a time, dated and with a reason; what comes down stays in the catalogue. Prints on request, size and material matched per sheet.
