Photography. Creation. Thinking.
I am a photographer.
I love it. And I live it.
"Photographer Florian W. Mueller has been shuttling around the world through the lens of observation, his passion for art has never receded. Through his works, we can peek into the phenomenon of the re-occurring eternal dynamics… … It is because of this perseverance towards photography art, that he has created masterpieces through his lens."
Precious Magazine, Hong Kong
"Florian W. Mueller's works are an emotional, spontaneous and intelligent reaction to the overflowing and rich imagery of the present. But that's not all: his pictures - packed in very aesthetic and beautiful pictures to look at - are commentary, zeitgeist and point of view at the same time"
Edda Fahrenhorst, curator
"Mueller obliges in revealing the emotional heart of his work, as he skillfully melds moments of mystery and intrigue with flourishes of contrasting colors and the intersecting lines of his superimposed structures."
Agora Gallery, New York
"... And exactly these blind spots and impossible moments are the essential field of work of Florian W. Müller. All in all, his work is a challenge for the mind and the subconscious. They can be located somewhere between digital collages and conceptual art and make an amazing contribution to contemporary photography."
Johann Schulz-Sobez, Prince House Gallery
"New Era fortifies Porsche’s vision of the future. We highlight the complexities between reality and dreams through the works of commissioned artist, Florian W. Mueller. His series, Multivision, applies his signature abstract style to create multi-layered pieces of superimposed Porsche cars against Shanghai’s cityscape, engaging viewers to unravel the endless possibilities of Porsche."
Porsche China Press Release
"Award-winning photographer Florian W. Mueller captures architectural landscapes in beautifully abstracted ways. As an answer to the endless flood of images and greed for perfection existent today, Müller sees the necessity to change perspectives, taking the view into an entirely different direction."
Magazine Issue No. 206
I have worked at a number of places over the years, like as a journalist and a TV host, but have been singularly focussed on photography since I was very young. At the age of six my father gave me my first camera, an Agfa Rapid with the extensive settings “sun”, “clouds”, “flash”. And in his darkroom he showed me the magic transformation of a white sheet of paper into a photograph. That’s when it clicked.
Some Words about me
I am internationally awarded, exhibited, published and booked photographer. Since 2013 I am a Professional Member of the renowned BFF (Berufsverband der freiberuflichen Fotografen & Filmdesigner e.V.). In 2020 I was elected to the national board of the BFF. In 2016 I joined the honorable AOP (Association of Photographers) in London. In 2017 I was a 6-time finalist and won one of the 12 coveted AOP Awards. In 2019 I was awarded 2 gold awards. My work has been exhibited in galleries in Paris, London, Berlin, New York, Zhouzhou (China), Dusseldorf, Cologne, Athens, Köping (Sweden) and more. In 2017 I led the first “Porsche Photography Masterclass” in Malaysia and teach photography and fine art worldwide.
Taking pictures with my camera is like tiptoeing into a world beyond visual perception. I try to imagine the space between emotion and reality.
