Top Urban Art Photographers

Just
Due to his good contacts into the scene, Berlin based photographer Just is in a position to get good shot as one of the first. His main focus is on documenting street art and graffiti live action as well as exhibitions in and around Berlin. His photos can be found on just.ekosystem.org.

Alex Fakso
One of the most famous photographers for graffiti and trains is the Italian Alex Fakso. His photographic focus is mainly on the artistic documentation of illegal spray-actions. Usually it is not the urban artwork itself which is in the center of Fakso’s shots, but the supercharged atmosphere. You can get more info about him and his book “Heavy Metal” at heavymetalbook.com.

Ruedi One
Another photo ace of the graffiti scene is Ruedi One who is one of the directors of the spray can producer Montana. Similar to Fakso, Ruedi One’s urban photographs live on the vicinity to the artists. A well-known work of him is the “Montana Writer Team Issue” (preview), which photographically portrayed the graffiti artists Atom, Cantwo, Dash, Kent and Smash137.

Timo Stammberger
A less known but very interesting urban art photographer is the German Timo Stammberger. His work includes well-staged subway tunnels, as well as the recently published urban artist photos, a photographic insight into the lives of mainly Berlin urban artists. There are some of his selected works at letterxiii.com and his website.
