TOBIAS NAGEL

PHOTOGRAPHY & DESIGN
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going...

About

Tobias Nagel (born 1977 in Dresden) is a passionate Designer and Photographer. He draws his inspiration from the somehow opposite qualities of these two disciplines. If design is concerned with the future, a photograph is always an instant of the past. Both disciplines unite the necessity for a curious and critical perspective upon the things that surround us.
For the past 20 years Tobias has travelled the globe extensively, combining his job as a Vehicle and Product Designer with his constant search for motives. After spending a year in Finland, two years in the UK and almost 14 years in Japan, he is now based in Munich, Germany, where he lives with his wife and his daughter.

About

Photography

Photography to me is more than just a form of documentation. It's rather a particular way of looking at things and the world around you. Hence, the camera itself is much more than just a capturing device. Its your alibi, your weapon, your excuse, your microscope, your compass, your pause button... all depending on the context. Below you'll find a taste of my works.

Design

Good design is less about fulfilling expectations than it is about facilitating a fresh perspective on things. Design is a proactive investigation on the nature of objects and processes.
