Robert Schlotter (*1981, Jena) studied photography and media at the Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences and graduated in 2009 with a diploma. He lives and works as an artist, photographer and landscape fruit grower in Albersdorf / Thuringia.
In his artistic practice he deals with transformation processes in architecture and landscape and the relationship between humans and their environment. With his initiative Waldgarten Thüringen he works on the linking of sustainable agriculture with artistic interventions and other cultural and social aspects based on permaculture principles. For his work he has received the Canon Profifoto Award, as well as scholarships from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the Saxony-Anhalt Art Foundation.
As a freelance photographer he is focussing on architecture photography and artwork documentations.
