about
robert mangelmann
hey there, pixel pals! 👋 i'm robert, your friendly non-professional photographer on a quest to ignite the spark of creativity again and again and turn the world and moments into blurry shots. if you're wondering what a "non-professional photographer" means, well, it's just a fancy term for someone who occasionally remembers to remove the lens cap, most of the time when traveling or at special places.
🌟 about me
i'm just your average globetrotting enthusiast with a camera permanently attached to my hand – not surgically, of course, that would be weird. my passion for photography rivals my love for coffee, and trust me, that's a challenge. whether it's capturing architecture, urban environments, or that perfectly imperfect cup of coffee, i've mastered the art of making ordinary things look semi-interesting.
🌍 travel junkie
i've developed a keen sense of direction (sometimes mistaken for getting lost) in pursuit of the perfect shot. passport stamps? check! map-reading skills? optional! but hey, getting lost is just an extended photo opportunity, right? there are still enough destinations on the bucket list of european capitals until i have visited them all. and beyond that, there are so many other destinations worth visiting.
📷 photography philosophy
why hire a professional photographer when you can have someone who thinks "ISO" stands for "i'm sorry, okay?" i firmly believe that every snapshot tells a story – even if that story is just about my struggle with setting up a tripod on a windy day. i'm here to prove that imperfection is the new perfection, and my photos are the living testament to that.
🏡 home makeover guru
what do you do with all those photos, you ask? well, my friend, i'm on a mission to turn your humble abode into a gallery of unforgettable moments. forget expensive artwork – my photos are the budget-friendly way to make your home the envy of the neighborhood. your walls deserve some quirky charm, and I've got just the right amount of it!
gear acquisition syndrom
yes, my doctor also attested to my tendency to want to compensate for a lack of photography skills by constantly buying new things. fortunately, i always find people who are buying my old but still very maintained stuff and make them happy. here is the list of the current equipment:
