Photography of Eastern Europe

Jan Zappner is a freelance photographer based in Berlin. Besides editorial work he likes to travel in Eastern Europe, especially interested in countries going through an extreme transition phase like Belarus, Kosovo, Albania and Georgia. He works with a Hasselblad to feel and capture people on the street. “The Photo Essay “Albania—Living in Oblivion” deals with the complicated past of the people and the history of the country. It is a mixture of portraits and street scenes all taken between 2010 and 2012.”
