About

Hi, I'm Leon Laskowski, a Berlin-based photographer specializing in portrait, reportage, and travel photography.

After 12 years of working in product design and creative consultancy, I started transitioning into photography in my early thirties, exploring themes of passion and personality, authenticity and uniqueness.

Drawn to encounters and the exploration of new places, I have lived in 7 countries to date, where the practice of photography evolved into an engaging passion and fullfilling medium to meet people, learn about the world, its heterogenity and infinite realities.

Naturally, my background in design, experience abroad and shift of careers all translate into the character of both my personal and commissioned work:

Whether portraying people or photographing a travel story — spaces, objects, textures, surfaces and colors are central to my visual exploration of how an environment reflects unique practices and passions or a cultural context shapes our values and ways of being. As the designer I hear all things talking; as the photographer I capture their message.

With a particular interest in portraying personalities within the context of their specific undertakings and environments, I seek to showcase examples of lives and professions that are not driven by compulsive capitalist expansion but by passion, values and authenticity.

Let's start a conversation — let's share true stories.
I am looking forward to your call.
