Mario Schneider

Mario Schneider has made a name for himself as a director and film composer far beyond the borders of Germany. In his photobook, New York Short Stories, which features both color and black-and-white images, he impressively demonstrates that street photography is also one of his talents.

Mario Schneider's photographs reflect the perspective of a filmmaker and storyteller. In his images, he presents a different, quieter New York, where the hustle and bustle of the city recedes and interpersonal encounters come to the fore. Against the backdrop of this breathtaking city, Schneider captures moments that last only a fraction of a second. These are moments that reveal the souls and emotions of the people depicted and invite us to meditate on our own feelings and thoughts about the moment captured.
