The name 'luckymanpictures' is a tribute to Jamel Brinkley's brilliant collection of short stories, 'A Lucky Man'. His stories are centered around a keen, empathetic gaze at life—focusing on the moments that shape us and the facets that often remain hidden. To me, that is the very essence of photography: not chasing a perfect, staged version of events, but capturing the genuine, unforeseen moment.
Marc Wortmann is a writer and photographer based in Hamburg, Germany. He founded luckymanpictures in 2025.
