Fabian Ritter
(*1992, Offenbach am Main)
![]()
grew up between a perfect franconian small town, austrian mountain scape and so called „no-go areas“ in Germany. Shaped by insights into different cultures and ways of life, he is interested in social phenomena and tensions of society. Today, he focuses on those topics with artistic and documentary approaches.
Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine in 2022, he has been concerned with the impact on people on the ground. Fabian has completed a HEFAT training program among other security tranings.
From 2019, he holds an BA in photography from the 'University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Dortmund' and is working as a freelance documentary photographer in Europe. Fabians work has been published in major international media outlets.
