Jan-Paul Braack

I photograph people and places while travelling around the world. Currently based in Berlin, Germany.

01About

A picture can sit around for a year before I decide whether it works, and most of them never do.

Most of the pictures happen while travelling, and usually the camera is the reason I went in the first place. Half a year in Japan was long enough to stop feeling like a visitor.

02Atelier

Ten pictures I keep coming back to. Mostly taken a long way from home.
