JAN GESSLER
Jan Gessler is a Berlin-based photographer with a deep fascination for the visual poetry of everyday life. His primary focus lies in street photography, where he captures authentic moments shaped by light, architecture, and human interaction. His work is known for its striking compositions, bold contrasts, and the subtle storytelling found in spontaneous scenes.
Jan’s interest in photography began in childhood. Growing up in a creative household, he was introduced to the darkroom at an early age by his mother, a passionate photographer herself. These formative experiences sparked his lifelong passion for observing and documenting the world through images.
Alongside his photographic work, Jan has built a successful career in film and video production. In 2003, he founded Lookzoom Filmproduktion Berlin, where he works as a director, cameraman, and director of photography (DoP). His projects range from documentaries and commercial films to music videos and visual campaigns. Over the years, he has collaborated with renowned organizations and brands such as HBO, ARTE, ARD, ZDF, Microsoft, T-Systems, Universal Music, and Deutsche Aidshilfe.
Today, Jan’s creative focus is increasingly dedicated to still photography. Through his street photography, he invites viewers to pause, observe, and reflect — discovering meaning and beauty in fleeting, everyday moments.
