photographer?, (ex)journalist?, storyteller?
Born 1975 in Furstenfeldbruck Germany, based in Malta; works and lives nomadically.
Arved Gintenreiter is a photographer and journalist with a focus on emotional storytelling. Combining classic photography with audio elements and narration, his works discuss contemporary environmental, social, and political matters.
Partly growing up in Pakistan and Turkey, he navigated diverse cultures, norms, and points of view throughout his life. Though he had already been passionate about photography as a teen, his professional career first took a different turn: master’s degree in business economics, traineeship as a journalist, reporter and editor for a news agency.
2009 he broke with his prior profession and followed his heart to pursue photography. First, he contributed to picture-alliance photo stock agency as a freelancer. In recent years, he concentrated on own projects by melting together his prior fields of work, exploring how to break down and transform complex subjects into audio-visual information experiences.
