Philipp Czampiel (b. 1995 in Wuppertal) is a Berlin-based photographer working with brands, NGOs, and editorials. With a background in industrial and strategic design, he combines artistic sensibility with a clear understanding of communication needs.

His commissioned work covers portraiture, corporate storytelling, editorial assignments, and event documentation. What distinguishes his approach is that he brings the same authenticity and visual sensitivity from his independent projects into his client collaborations. The result: images that are both aesthetically strong and strategically effective.

For organizations, Czampiel’s photography creates honest and human-centered visual narratives—whether documenting the spirit of a corporate culture, capturing social initiatives, or producing editorial features
