Angelika Jakob

As a photographer and writer I have learnt that people open up and trust me because I treat their culture with respect and curiosity. Wether I take part in a chieftancy ceremony in a slum in Accra or wether my bavarian neighbours introduce me to their traditions - I don’t judge, both are equally important to me. 
I live in Munich, Bavaria and accept assignments worldwide, be it as a writer or photographer or both.
2nd place in the Sports category of the 2024 Sony World Photography Award with my Bavarian Fingerhaklers.
Tokyo Photo Award has honoured my series about the Finger Wrestlers with bronze.
