Born in 1965, Ingo Fischer has worked as a self-employed photographer in Cologne since 1990. Being the son of an architect, his passion for building was laid in the cradle and this trained his clear view on architecture from childhood.

Focused on architecture and landscape, he now works for large construction companies, project developers and architects. Since 2011, he has used drone technology and has developed his visual language continuously. His photos are increasingly being used in the tourism sector.

Both, in his architecture and landscape shots, the special atmosphere is his trademark.
