Malte Jäger is a professional people and lifestyle photographer.

In his work, Malte predominately searches for human nature - what drives people to live their lives the way they do? That’s what Jäger tries to discover, understand, and share with others.

Coming from the field of photojournalism, he uses photography to look behind the curtains that wouldn’t be opened for him if he wasn’t using his camera. Befitting his inquisitive nature, Jäger loves to meet and learn about people. His images reflect this interest – lively, active, vibrant photos of humans and humanity, and the joy of life.
