About Me
I’m Marcus Lippert and I come from Hamburg, the most beautiful city in the world on the Elbe River.
In my home studio, I produce many photographs. These are mostly digital images, but recently I’ve been increasingly working with analog photography again.
For a long time, my focus was on landscape and architectural photography. In recent years, I’ve also been doing more portrait work, although I rarely publish those due to privacy rights—they’re mainly for personal use.
Vierlande Project
Everyone needs goals—photographers too. Since I come from the Vier- und Marschlande, one of Hamburg’s most beautiful regions, I decided to present this area through photography in the framework of the “Vierlande Project.”
So, in the coming years, I’ll be spending a lot of time photographing in the Vier- und Marschlande. I’ve actually been doing this since August 2016. I don’t follow a specific concept or goal. I just shoot freely. Creativity thrives on spontaneity and curiosity, which is why I don’t sit down and overthink what exactly the outcome should be. The project more or less emerged on its own—whenever I wanted to try something new, like capturing a new light mood, I went to Vierlande, since it’s practically on my doorstep. So, let’s see where it goes!
Fine Art Photography
“Fine Art” means different things to different people. Literally translated, it means “beautiful arts.” Many use the term exclusively for photographs they consider exceptional—great art, brilliant photography.
I believe that interpretation is misleading, since it’s highly subjective. I see it as its own genre—unbound by the “rules” that define other styles. For instance, street photography often prohibits heavy editing. Fine art photography, on the other hand, is the freestyle category—it knows no restrictions. Everything is allowed: retouching, compositing, anything. For me, the term has nothing to do with the quality of the result. After all, there’s good, mediocre, and bad art—and the same applies to fine art photography.
Maritime Photography
Since 2021, I’ve owned a Reinke S10 sailing yacht named “Jirka.” With it, I plan to dive deeper into maritime photography. Starting in 2025, we aim to spend weeks or even months at sea capturing this new perspective.
Enjoy browsing my site. Maybe we’ll run into each other while photographing—or sailing.
