I am Jakob Montrasio, a photographer, filmmaker, and visual storyteller based near Heidelberg, Germany. My work spans portrait and wedding photography, architecture, commercial assignments, and documentary filmmaking. I currently serve as a frontend developer and photographer at DIE RHEINPFALZ, one of southwest Germany's leading daily newspapers, where I combine editorial storytelling with digital innovation.
Over the past two decades, my camera has taken me from the neon-lit skylines of Shanghai and Hong Kong to the ancient temples of Kyoto and the brutalist landmarks of Berlin. My travel photography has been exhibited internationally and published in books and galleries. On this site you will find curated Visual Stories from seven countries, in-depth film and streaming reviews, behind-the-scenes journal entries, and a blog covering cinema, design, gaming, technology, and life with Benji the cat.
Whether you are looking for a photographer for your next project in the Rhein-Neckar region, exploring my portfolio, or simply browsing honest film reviews — welcome, and enjoy the journey.
