Valentin Goppel (*2000) is a photographer based in Hanover, Germany.
In his work as a photojournalist, he takes assignments of newspapers, covering social topics and their relation to the individual.
Additionally, photography deals as a conscious tool in processing his surroundings. He frequently questions the possibilities of
objective truth in documentary and likes to explore the border between observation and involvement.
For his recent project between the years he photographed friends and acquaintances
in both found scenes and collaborative portraits, trying to capture the diffuse feelings of growing up in times of the pandemic.
