Maximilian Gödecke

I am a freelance german/hungarian photographer, born 1995 in Berlin and focusing on reportage and portrait photography. In my work I try to explore the facets of human life as well as the stories it produces.

After completing my apprenticeship at Studio67 in 2019, I jumped right into the freelance market. Since then, from idea to project, I dedicate myself to my deep interest in accompanying people. The projects are created in hours of research on a topic as well as in spontaneous conversations while photographing on the street.
The camera is always with me. Even on the three-minute walk to the supermarket or when taking out the trash. Because remarkable motifs hide in every situation in life.

I am always ready for new ideas, topic suggestions and projects, so feel free to hit me up via mail or just simply call me.
