Noah Hermann

Noah Eleazar Hermann, born in 2001, is a German photographer who lives in Hannover and is currently studying Visual Journalism & Documentary Photography at Hochschule Hannover. His work often deals with relevant social issues and so reflects the spirit of the times. With his pictures, Noah draws attention to areas that get lost in the fast pace of everyday life. His subjects include sustainability and volunteering, as well as his own personal development and experiences.

In his projects he builds on close, personal exchanges with the people he photographs, resulting in authentic, honest storytelling focused on the individual. It matters to him that his projects not only reach a wider public but also show the diversity of society, so that his work makes room both for each person’s uniqueness and for the differences between people.
