Joachim Hildebrand started his photography career as a freelance photographer for press and photo agencies. At the same time, he studied economic sciences in Frankfurt am Main. After having completed his doctorate and fifteen years in business, he turned to photographic art and studied Fine Art Photography at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Madrid under, among others, Elger Esser, Joan Fontcuberta, and Martin Parr. Since then he has worked internationally on my different personal projects.

He usually deals with public places and urban or suburban spaces in which people live, work or spend their free time. What they look like is the result of collective and individual decisions. People shape their environment, but at the same time, they are also shaped by it. He is particularly interested in man-made things and human interventions in the landscape and its surroundings. Therefore, the built environment always plays an important role in his work.
