Photographer's Profile

Nico Trinkhaus

Sumfinidade Unipessoal Lda. PT515874620, Portugal

Nico Trinkhaus (Berlin, 1988 → Lisbon) is an award-winning landscape and cityscape photographer whose work has been exhibited across Europe. Through workshops and writing, he teaches photographers to cultivate a personal visual style and a more intentional practice. He describes himself as a photographer with aphantasia – “mind-blindness,” the inability to form mental images. Photography is both memory and a way to share the places and emotions he encounters. Nico Trinkhaus was born with the inability to “see” his memories and visualisation. It is why photography became the only way to recall vivid pictures of places he saw and the emotions they evoked. Nico was born in 1988 in Berlin, Germany. Since his early years, he has been drawn to photography and computer graphics. His mind convinced him to start International Business Studies, the heart, however, pushed him to the decision to become a professional photographer after his studies. After “Thunderstorm at Alexanderplatz” (2013) gained wide attention and a Sony World Photography Awards nomination, Nico’s work reached a broader audience. Since then he has received multiple international awards and is recognised within the travel-photography community. Themes: Timeless Travel · Europe’s heritage · First Light.
