Bio

Niklas Grapatin is a photographer based in Hamburg, Germany.

In 2017 he went to Bangladesh to continue his studies at Pathshala South Asian Media Institute in Dhaka, under the guidance of Munem Wasif.

Besides working on personal projects he is available for editorial and commercial assignments.
