About me

Matthias Knust | RAW FLANEUR

For over 30 years, cameras and the world of photography have been my constant companions.
As a professional photographer, I dedicated decades to the world of advertising with precision, vision, and passion.
But at some point, I asked myself: "What remains when the assignment is fulfilled? What remains when the camera is no longer just a tool, but a tool to tell my own stories?"

In 2022, I decided to forge a new path.
I left the world of advertising photography – not out of renunciation, but out of deep conviction.
Because I wanted to live my true passion again:
Street Photography – the art of observation, of chance, of human moments.
Landscape Photography – the tranquility of nature, the power of light, the beauty of the unplanned.

My perspective has changed. And that is evident in every new picture.

I don't photograph to show – I photograph to tell a story.
Every print is a piece of my journey, a moment that touched me – and that can now touch you too.

I have not lost, but rekindled my knowledge, my experience, my eye for detail and light.
And now I want to share this knowledge.
Not just through the camera – but through my prints, my books, my art.

Why my pictures are different:

No quick shots – just genuine moments
High-quality prints on Hahnemühle paper – gallery quality
Custom frames & acrylic prints – ready to hang
Every print is unique – with a story, with a soul

You have the choice:

You can buy a print – and bring the tranquility of the harbor, the elegance of a street, or the vastness of a landscape into your home.
You can purchase a book – filled with my best moments, my story, my passion.
You can experience an encounter with art – through an image that speaks more than words.
