Nils Clauss is a German photographer and film maker. In 2005 he left Berlin to start a new life in Seoul, South Korea.
In the two decades since that move Nils has worked as a commercial photographer and filmmaker working in branded content, creative advertising, documentary and the arts. He aims to make uplifting powerful images and stories with messages that genuinely move people.
Alongside his commercial work Nils has also spent his time creating personal work that documents the urban landscape of his adopted country and the culture and sub-cultures, quirks and charms to be found there.
“I see myself as a multidisciplinary creative who works as a filmmaker, director, photographer and editor.”
