About
At the age of 17, he went head over heels into self-employment. At 19, he won the German Photo Book Prize. At 22, he launched his first social media campaign for Mercedes-Benz. But let's start from the beginning:
Born in the Swabian province - and stayed there. Calvin Leander could never imagine the hustle and bustle of the big city as the center of his life. And yet, professionally, he has a penchant for the metropolises of the world.
With his roots in reportage photography, he lives out his creative world. Sometimes there are only 24 hours between a tour report for an artist somewhere in Budapest and the production of a key visual campaign. That's exactly what Calvin Leander loves about his job. The variety, speed and precise momentum of his work make him a creative secret weapon. Calvin Leander is the best proof that an interdisciplinary way of working in today's world does not conflict with expertise. Quite the opposite.
Flexibility, a feel for current trends and needs in the media landscape, and a solid network are the cornerstone of his work. Calvin Leander uses the camera as an interpersonal communication tool and has built up a multifaceted portfolio. He is interested in expressing himself from his point of view and better understanding the world around him.
"I don't care what I photograph. It's the joint teamwork, the advance planning, the tingling in my fingers and the desire to create something creative that drives me. When I look at my portfolio like that, I would say: In the end, it's all about people."
