Denis Kooné Kuhnert
Photographer / Art and Movement Director based in Berlin / Germany
I grew up in Hip Hop Culture, tagging walls with graffiti and breakdancing. This background has really influenced my journey as an artist. From battles on the biggest stages of breakdancing I moved on to work with contemporary dance companies to put my work as a choreographer and dancer on display in theaters. During this time I´ve learned the ins and outs of visual storytelling with movement, which greatly influenced my way as a photographer.
What sets my photography apart is how I capture dynamic moments in the midst of city life, telling an immersive story. My photos have this cool mix of people, urban vibes, and motion. The moments I capture feel almost dreamlike, making you rethink what you thought was possible in real life. My pictures make you stop and wonder, challenging your idea of what’s real. They basically talking about doing things different, putting effort in it to reach something or simply going a different direction as a choice of life..
