valentin nikolai landmann

Valentin Nikolai Landmann is widely regarded as a brilliant defense lawyer. His diverse clientele ranges from socially marginalized groups to private bankers and high-profile politicians. Beyond his legal career, he is also an accomplished author, was a law professor at the University of Lucerne, and a sought-after speaker. Though based in Switzerland, Landmann frequently visits Hamburg, a city he considers his second home.

A familiar face in the media, Landmann is known for his sharp rhetoric, unfiltered opinions, and bold courtroom presence. He often makes headlines for his passionate defense strategies-always accompanied by his signature "clock tie."

Fascinated by both his professional and personal life, I wanted to explore his world through photography. This led me to create a visual story about Valentin Landmann, capturing moments from his life and work. A small selection of these images can be seen here-all shot on black-and-white film and developed at home..
