Ingmar Björn Nolting (1995) lives and works as a freelance photographer in Leipzig, Germany. He holds a Master’s Degree in Photography from the University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Dortmund. He is a member of laif agency and a regular contributor to The New York Times. In his recents works, Ingmar condenses the moods and conditions of German society. With his restrained, stage-like images, he describes and explores the complex interconnections of environment, politics, and social dynamics. Poetically and at the same time paradoxically, he photographs the transformation of his homeland, Germany – amidst division, rearmament, pandemic, and climate crisis. Ingmar held a scholarship of Stiftung Kunstfonds.
He is a founding member of “DOCKS Collective” for humanist photography.
He is based in Leipzig, Germany and is available for assignments, feel free to request.
Ingmar’s work has been published in The New York Times Magazine, The New York Times, TIME Magazine, time.com, New Yorker, ZEIT Magazin, The Washington Post, Le Monde, M Magazine, The Sunday Times, GEO, The Guardian, STERN, Brand Eins, ZEIT, …
His work is part of the art collection of the Museum of Art and Cultural History, Dortmund.
