Life and work

Walter Schönenbröcher was born in 1964 in Bergisch Gladbach and grew up in Cologne.[1] From 1984 to 1990 he studied mathematics and economic sciences at RWTH Aachen and the Technical University of Berlin, which he stopped when he founded his first IT company. From 1988 to 2014 he was the managing partner of an internet group with several companies. In 2010 Walter Schönenbröcher took up photography. He moved from early nature and architectural photography to portrait photography, taking on jobs for public figures from film, music, politics, sports and business.

From 2010 to 2016 Walter Schönenbröcher grew his portfolio at Vogue Italia to over 230 pictures and his work was honored with a total of ten "BEST OF" titles.[2]

In early 2011, in addition to other art projects, he started the historical documentation series HANDwerk, which documents rare and endangered trades. In 2016 the state of Brandenburg supported this photo spread with a national traveling exhibition in connection with the Brandenburg Year of Culture.[3] The works will be displayed next in the Brandenburg state parliament as well as in several unique Brandenburg museums. The project now includes over 45 trades and more than 600 works.

In September 2016, he married German composer and singer Kathrin Clara Jantke.[1]

In 2017, he began producing virtual reality film series and short films using stereoscopic 360° film technology. Among them is also the cinematic continuation of his contemporary historical documentary HANDwerk with which he received the insta360 Award in 2018 and 2019 nominations at international film festivals (Nashville Film Festival 2019, FIVARS 2019, nextreality.contest 2019, London Lift-Off Film Festival 2019).^{[citation needed]}

Since 2018, Schönenbröcher has also been producing a virtual reality film series "Artists up close", in which he portrays art prize winners on film.^{[citation needed]}
