Philipp Reinhard was born in 1990 and is a passionate photographer and filmmaker specializing in reportage, portraiture and campaigns. His focus is always on people, especially in the context of sport. Editor-in-chief Benjamin Lorenz describes the work of the internationally active photographer with the words "intense, close, honest." Reinhard captures extraordinary and fleeting moments that often go unnoticed.
As a team photographer for the German national football team, the HAKRO Merlins Crailsheim and for Team D of the German Olympic Sports Confederation at the 2021 & 2022 Olympic Games, his pictures tell stories, convey emotions and provide intimate insights. His reports testify to an intense, close and honest engagement with his subjects by getting into the thick of the action to capture the decisive moments."
