My Name is Guenter Haemmerle, aka Martelletto [ital. for small hammer]


I grew up in a little town in Austria near the Lake of Constance. Already at High School I started with photography and I never gave up since those days. The digital age gave my work a new boost, but I still use mid format analog Hasselblads and SRLs for some projects. Having lived in Milan, Italy, for 10 years I am now living and working in Asia, Hong Kong. The focus of my work is lifestyle, travel and editorial, but I am also available for fashion and wedding jobs. I am photographer who absolutely loves his job and everything that comes with it. I appreciate the people I meet, the places I go, the hours I keep, and the spontaneity in every shoot.

I appreciate the raw reality of everyday life, the fleeting beauty of those in-between moments, and I do my very best to take every picture with that in mind. I want my viewers to relate to my photographs through recognition of and familiarity with the situations, the emotions, and the energy so much that they wonder if they are looking at a picture of someone they know.
