Color your life.
The photographic works of Mitja Koetter (*1980, Göttingen, Germany) fascinate through their play with colors. He studied literature and philosophy at the Humboldt University in Berlin. He then started working for Formula 1, which has taken him around the globe in recent years.
His colorful view of urban places carries moods and essence and makes them tangible. His series Under Ground recently received the Gold badge at the Paris Photo Award PX3.
Inspired by Pop Art, Mitja Koetter also experiments with abstract forms and color manipulation in his portraits. In thematic works, he uses different photographic layers to express content. For example his series Cyborg - What’s your level? questions the digital identity of contemporary individuals. The series is published in Zeiss Lenspire magazine.
The series Some Funky Fish is dedicated to the magic and beauty of jellyfish. Photographs merge with watercolor painting. This is where Mitja Koetter's slogan comes to shine: "Color your life!”
He lives and works in Berlin.

Cyborg
- What’s your level?
Where will we be in another 20 years? Will humans then become cyborgs? In his cyborg series Mitja Koetter shows the human being of the present, marked by his digital identity. He asks himself: What is your level? Macroshots of computer motherboards merging with Portraits.

Mitja Koetter captures man as a nation, reminding us that the cultures of the world have long been mixed. With flags arbitrarily chosen to represent individuals, these portraits showcase the person as a member of the "world nation" rather than their country of origin. The models, passers-by on an afternoon in Kreuzberg Berlin, become living ornaments rather than stamps.

Mitja Koetters series Red America is made purely analogue without any post-processing. The “redscaled” images are created by back-exposing photographic film.
The series Pool Flamingo is a homage to Kodak aerochrome film and infrared photography. The series is ongoing. A photo book is planned.
