I am Norbert Woehnl, a Tokyo-based German freelance travel photographer with 25 years of experience behind the lens. As an avid traveller, I shoot mostly on location, striving to capture the essence of a place or scenery, and the simple beauty of daily life in all its aspects. I prefer to use available light and to keep my photographs as natural as possible, limiting any digital post-processing to an absolute minimum.

On numerous journeys to Japan, North America and within Europe, I have been building a continuously growing stock of photographs. My work has been featured in books, magazines and on popular websites (some samples can be viewed on the "Tear Sheets" page).

Please get in touch via the 'Contact' form - I'll be glad to discuss with you about how to support your projects with my photographic works. Some more details are available on this page about licensing.
