100 photos - 100 stories

Photos, moments, stories

This year we are showing very special pictures. Pictures that tell a special story, perhaps a story that you don't even recognize at first. In the age of digitalization, countless photos are part of our everyday lives, but what about the real pictures that carry a unique story with them? Photography lives from moments, feelings and events that move people and are anchored over generations.

Sharing stories together!

Every few days we publish a new photo in our online blog. The photos can be very well-known, from our employees, photographers or even from you. Stay tuned and check back regularly at www.fotokoch.de/blog or on this page. Do you also have photos with a special story or do you have a picture in mind that should not be missing from the series? Then we look forward to receiving your suggestions by e-mail to content@fotokoch.de
