Hello there!
I'm Florian Merlet, a photographer born in 1989 and originally from Bordeaux, France, now based in Hamburg, Germany.
My work focuses on documenting my daily life, from simple family moments to outstanding experiences. My style is heavily influenced by street photography, and I exclusively shoot with film cameras.
I am also a co-founder of the KEIFII darkroom, a community space located in the heart of Hamburg.
If you're interested in prints of my work, darkroom workshops, or even just want to say hello, feel free to get in touch with me. I'd love to hear from you!
Stay safe,
Florian
Stay safe,
