Known for his dedication to traditional analog photography, Frank Hormann was admired for his instinctive image compositions and keen sense of humor, which lent authenticity to each project. The Fotoagentur Nordlicht has been an IMAGO partner since 2016. We have come to know and appreciate Frank Hormann as a very approachable, time-critical and committed photographer. All of us at IMAGO send our sincere condolences to Frank Hormann's family, friends and companions.
