Nuremberg-born photographer Werner Gritzbach was educated as a photographer at the highly renowned "Bavarian School for Photography" in Munich.
Then he went to Hamburg to work as an assistant for Jacques Schumacher for 3 years.
After having opened his own studio in Hamburg, his first jobs were portraits of musicians, quickly followed by advertising work.
Several breaks led to interesting adventures like an Atlantic-crossing with the media-ship"O-Lucia" from Amsterdam to St.Marteen or a documentary about a drought in Zimbabwe, where he also worked as a cameraoperator.
The advertising years were followed by editorial work for magazines like Stern, Spiegel, Gala, Bunte, Playboy etc, shooting covers, fashion, portraits, homestories and reportages.

Since January 2022 he lives in Santa Eugenia, Mallorca.
