Lennard Grohn is a german photographer whose work seamlessly blends melancholy with a profound celebration of life's beauty.
His first (analogue) camera was given to Lennard by his parents at the age of 12.
When he left school, he studied photography at University of Fine Arts in Mainz/ Germany where he graduated. This time was essential for his approach to classic photography through light, drawing and composition.
After the early death of his beloved father, his work consists of a systematic approach to black and white photography as a way of expression, where he wants to create timeless images about personal stories connected to his past and imagination, his childhood and the decay of the illusion of a perfect world.
Lennard’s work is characterised by a minimalist approach and a deep artistic sensibility - from intimate portraits to poetic landscapes.
Asides from photography, Lennard has a background in music. He has played drums and percussion since childhood and toured for many years with bands and his own ensemble together with a masterdrummer from Senegal, never losing his passion for photography along the way. During the pandemic, photography became more important again as a form of personal expression and also a search for meaning in his life. Some people say you can see the music in his photographs…
