Johann Sebastian Haenel
Sebastian’s work is exciting and vibrant, focused on the energy and motion of life. It is impossible to sit still while viewing his work. His interest in humanity and its varied conditions lend itself to a thorough portrait of his subject – individual or group, in studio or environment. Regardless of context, his films and photography speak to the viewer. Strongly influenced by his upbringing in a vibrant middle-class family in Hamburg, Sebastian was fed a steady diet of art, classical music, movies, books, social matters, and politics, and to this day takes an interest in cultural and social discourse with his work. This is fed with time spent in Germany, the UK, and Eastern Europe, among others – his global perspective is sought after by clients of all stripes. Sebastian is based in Berlin.
