Photography. Creation. Thinking.
I am a photographer.
I love it. And I live it.

Shortcut
Ok, ok. You want to get straight to the point and don’t feel like reading all the lovingly compiled information? Here you go:
I’m a freelance photographer in advertising and art. Preferably both in one. I work all over the world, alone, in teams, on large and small projects.
Together with other creative minds, I like to question the status quo, look for new perspectives and think outside the box.
My work has been decorated with awards here and there and exhibited there and then. See below…
I love what I do.
Here is a small pdf with info to download.

That’s me*
* Well, obviously it’s my website,
but you know what I mean…
I’m a fine art and commercial photographer, (yes, that actually works!) and creative director living in Cologne, Germany and working worldwide.
I’m thrilled when clients want to try something that a hundred photographers haven’t done before.
Courage is worth it.
Risk it for the Biscuit.
I like jazz and heavy metal (works too), have a little son and if you want to see how a photographer did homeschooling (thanks Corona, now bugger off) with his little boy, have a look here

Some kind Words
"Photographer Florian W. Mueller has been shuttling around the world through the lens of observation, his passion for art has never receded. Through his works, we can peek into the phenomenon of the re-occurring eternal dynamics… … It is because of this perseverance towards photography art, that he has created masterpieces through his lens."
Precious Magazine, Hong Kong
"Mueller obliges in revealing the emotional heart of his work, as he skillfully melds moments of mystery and intrigue with flourishes of contrasting colors and the intersecting lines of his superimposed structures."
Agora Gallery, New York
"New Era fortifies Porsche’s vision of the future. We highlight the complexities between reality and dreams through the works of commissioned artist, Florian W. Mueller. His series, Multivision, applies his signature abstract style to create multi-layered pieces of superimposed Porsche cars against Shanghai’s cityscape, engaging viewers to unravel the endless possibilities of Porsche."
Porsche China, Press Release
"Florian W. Mueller's works are an emotional, spontaneous and intelligent reaction to the overflowing and rich imagery of the present. But that's not all: his pictures - packed in very aesthetic and beautiful pictures to look at - are commentary, zeitgeist and point of view at the same time."
Edda Fahrenhorst, curator
"Award-winning photographer Florian W. Mueller captures architectural landscapes in beautifully abstracted ways. As an answer to the endless flood of images and greed for perfection existent today, Müller sees the necessity to change perspectives, taking the view into an entirely different direction."
Magazine Issue No. 206
"... And exactly these blind spots and impossible moments are the essential field of work of Florian W. Müller. All in all, his work is a challenge for the mind and the subconscious. They can be located somewhere between digital collages and conceptual art and make an amazing contribution to contemporary photography."
Johann Schulz-Sobez, Prince House Gallery
