About Gebhard Krewitt | Photographer

Gebhard Krewitt is a German-born photographer based in Nelson, New Zealand.

He studied art and sociology in Germany before working as a freelance photographer in Hamburg and becoming a member of the photographers’ agency VISUM. His work has appeared in magazines including Stern, Spiegel, GEO and mare.

Gebhard works at the intersection of documentary and fine art photography. His work explores the relationship between people, places, memory and environmental change — with photographic accuracy, narrative care and a sense of interpersonal subtleties.

Alongside commissioned editorial and corporate work, he develops long-term photographic projects in which documentary observation is combined with a personal and often sociological perspective.

His photographs have been exhibited internationally and are held in public and private collections. In 2015, his work was nominated for the Global Peace Photo Award.

Gebhard has been living and working in New Zealand for several years.
