DOMINIK SCHULZE

Dominik Schulze (born 1993) is a street photographer based in Dresden, Germany, and a member of Streetcollective Dresden. His work explores the relationship between people and their surroundings, finding visual order in the seemingly ordinary. Geometric forms, architectural structures and the interplay of light and shadow shape his compositions, turning familiar scenes into quiet, carefully balanced images.

Working almost exclusively with a smartphone, his approach is guided by observation, spontaneity and a preference for simplicity.

His photograph “Contemplative” was named “The B&W Photo of the Year” at the Black & White International Photo Awards. He also won the People & Portrait category at the Mobiography Awards and took second place in the “By Phone” category at the Italian Street Photo Festival. His work has also appeared multiple times on the MIRA Mobile Prize's B&W Street Photography Top 50 shortlist.

His photographs have been exhibited in Dresden and featured in The Phoblographer.

Project: Between Beats

The photographic series "Zwischen Takt" by Dominik Schulze is a visual exploration of the fleeting moments when people seem to momentarily step outside the rhythm of their daily routines. Acting as a quiet and distant observer, Dominik captures these scenes without any interference, allowing the natural pauses of life to unfold organically before his lens.

Created over the course of several years, the collection features images taken both during his travels and in the city of Dresden. The project is a deliberate attempt to take the ordinary seriously. It focuses on those brief, quiet instances of detachment where individuals appear to be mentally somewhere else entirely, just seconds before the steady beat of everyday life inevitably resumes.

Project Date: Created over the course of several years
Locations: Lyon, Budapest, Warsaw, Hamburg, Marseille, Poznan, Munich
