Zeche Zollverein in Essen is an impressive industrial heritage site and once the largest coal mine in the world. Today, the complex, with its sleek architecture and imposing shaft buildings, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a place where rugged industrial history meets modern culture - from old factory halls and installations to museums, art and design.
For photography, Zeche Zollverein is particularly inspiring: the geometric lines, the play of light and shadow on steel and brick, and the combination of bygone labour and contemporary creativity make for powerful images. Printed on canvas, metal or glass, you bring a piece of German history and industrial beauty into your home.
                                
 
                                
                                        Travel is my inspiration,  photography my way of telling stories. Under the name Patrick Fotografeert,  I have been capturing the beauty of the world for years: from impressive landscapes and colourful cities to quiet moments on the road. My camera always goes with me,  wherever I go.
