Hajo Pirenz
Dan’s Gallery | Photography & Fine Art
After studying aerospace engineering in Aachen, Hajo began his professional career in management consulting. Today, he is a partner and shareholder in an international consulting firm, where he leads technological and digital transformation projects for global clients.
As a counterbalance to his professional life, Hajo has deepened his passion for photography in recent years—particularly during a period marked by involuntary restrictions. He believes that inspiration is not something you search for—it finds you. The dramatic landscape and ever-shifting moods of southwest Ireland captivated him instantly.
Hajo lives in Hamburg but maintains a strong connection to the southwest of Ireland, near the small fishing village of Portmagee.
In his Culture Night talk, Slow Photography in Landscape, Hajo shares the art of experiencing nature with presence and mindfulness. By working with time, light, and patience, he creates images that radiate depth and tranquility. Discover how embracing slowness can unlock powerful photographic expression.
