"I am sitting in a room..." Shanghai, ShangriLa, Room 2962"

Jan Schünke is a German fine art photographer. Born in Starnberg, Germany, in 1978, Jan received an old SLR camera from his father when he turned 14. He is a seasoned and experienced traveler, fascinated by the diversity of culture and nature, which informs his perspective for his photography. From Sydney to Tokyo and Vancouver, Jan has wandered and photographed all over the globe. He now lives and works in Dießen and Munich. His fine art photography often shows the influence of humans on nature and vice versa and has been exhibited in Frankfurt, Munich, Seoul, Perth and Melbourne. Jan says, "I am fascinated by the power of nature and time; it is a combination that brings change and sometimes it takes control.

We were drawn to its stillness. Jan Schünke’s "I am sitting in a room..." captures the quiet, anonymous intimacy of a late-night hotel stay. Shot from Room 2962 in Shanghai, the image, printed softly on Büttenpapier, feels more remembered than recorded. Subtle and haunting, it lingers long after you look away.
