Who Am I
Who Am I
Hendrik Roggemann – Photography between Art and Documentation
Every photograph is a fragment of time – a captured moment that tells more than the obvious. As a photographer, I move at the interface between art and documentation, between staging and authenticity. My view is shaped by a fascination for light, structure and expression.
Whether portraits, travel photography or documentary work – my pictures tell stories that cannot be put into words. They arise from encounters with people, places and situations, from the ability to see the special in the everyday.
In my work as a photographer, I am not only concerned with aesthetics, but also with meaning. I strive to capture moments in such a way that they are not only recorded, but can be felt. I am inspired by cinematic and painterly compositions, but also by the spontaneity of reportage photography.
Between Staging and Authenticity
Sometimes a picture requires clear direction, a conscious design of light and perspective. Other times it is about waiting for the perfect moment without influencing it. My photography moves between these poles – it is neither purely staged nor a mere depiction. It is an expression of a point of view, a narrative style that conveys emotions and depth.
From the camera to the finished image
For me, the photographic process does not end when the camera is released. Digital post-processing is an essential part of my work. It is not intended to distort reality, but to tell it more accurately – to intensify colors, to work out lighting moods or to create a visual signature.
Artistic expression and documentary precision – united in one image
My aim is to create images that are both aesthetically and narratively convincing. Whether for private or business projects, for magazines, campaigns or individual assignments – I work with people and companies that value expressive, timeless photography.

Photographer and videographer since 2021 based in Tenerife
Before moving to Tenerife in 2021, I was very successful for many years as a wedding photographer and workshop leader for photographers in Germany and I still pass on my experience to other photographers today, including through my specialist books and through webinars and video courses on the Internet. I also work as a business coach and mentor for photographers who want to expand their business or build it up as a part-time job.
Since summer 2021 I have been living as a photographer and author on Tenerife, Spain.
