The man behind the camera. Walter Merkle (85) has captured the world for over six decades - with his camera.

The professional photographer stores a life's work in black and white and color, tens of thousands of images, in his house in Gräfelfing. “I basically photograph everything, from A for nude to Z for zoo,” says Merkles. Around 3,000 large prints are stored in his darkroom in the Haus Haus.
