About Me.<\/span><\/h1>\n

I am Michael von der Forst, photographer and graphic designer based in Muenster, Germany, with over 25 years of experience.<\/p>\n

With a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design and an IHK certificate in Social Media Management, I bring together experience, curiosity and creative confidence. Analogue and digital.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

medianautik is my studio in Muenster. Deliberately lean, flexible and personal. I work as a freelancer with a strong network of creative professionals. For every project, I put together an individual team, tailored precisely to the brief and the goal.<\/p>\n

My focus today is clearly on photography in Muenster and the wider region. I photograph people in business, in self-employment, on stage or in the middle of everyday life. Personal, on location, with care and genuine interest.<\/p>\n

Alongside commercial work, I offer experience shoots where you become the creative force behind the images. You develop your own character, put together your outfit and live the role. The result is images that do not look staged. Because they are not.<\/p>\n

Whether corporate communication, portrait series, artistic photography or an individual experience shoot. Ich helfe dabei, Menschen und Geschichten sichtbar zu machen. Honest, professional and with character.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
