Frankfurt-based Per Schorn, born in 1978, discovered his love of photography during a school project – not knowing that this passion would one day become his profession.
He is a representative of staged photography that follows a concept. In doing so, he does not negate reality: music, art and film – he absorbs it all. In his portraits, he captures the essence of the subject, within scenographies that reveal much about the theme he is visualising.

As a young photographer, he toured Germany with the US punk band Ignite. He went on to study Design at the University of Applied Sciences in Darmstadt, including art photography under the guidance of Kris Scholz. He also worked as a photo assistant for renowned national and international photographers, marking the beginning of his career as an independent photographer.

Per Schorn has worked as a lecturer in practice-oriented photography at Darmstadt University and as a guest lecturer in photography at RheinMain University. He is a BFF Professional and a member of the AOP.
