He is a man after our own hearts: Konrad Langer is a photographer who’s at his happiest when out exploring the city. Producing both commercial and artistic work, the Berlin creative has become sought-after for his vivid, contrast-rich images of urban scenes. Langer’s Vertical Realities series, for instance, captures facades of high-rise buildings in cities around the globe with such clarity that they almost look like graphics. Shown side-by-side on his social media feed, the photographs are sharp, symmetrical and infinitely scrollable. If you want to find out how Langer finds his dramatic locations, you can join him for a tour of beautiful, unusual photo spots in Kreuzberg and Mitte (next tour: 10.12.2022).

For some photo inspiration in the meantime, check out Langer’s website, where you’ll find photos of everything from Berlin Plattenbaus to San Diago palm trees. If you want to show your own pics to the world or sell them online, head over to Squarespace where you can make a homepage like Langer’s. The platform includes ready-to-go templates and an intuitive interface that lets you get your site up and running in just a few clicks. Also available are tools to monetize and market your business easily, meaning there’s more time for those all-important urban adventures.

Co-working spaces: originally promoted as an alternative to offices for freelancers, start-ups and digital nomads, they’re now the place to be for workers of all kinds. Whether it’s for fostering exchange or just to keep expenses manageable, co-working is booming. Mindspace offers just the solution, with spacious and fully-equipped spaces with shared lounges, printer stations and IT support. With individual offices, team spaces and workstations, the provider has 41 locations in 21 cities and seven countries throughout Europe, Israel and the USA. Among them, you’ll find five locations in Berlin. In October 2022, the modern offices in Kreuzberg and Mitte were joined by Mindspace Ku’damm in Charlottenburg with offices, a podcast studio, a family room, several terraces and a 360-degree rooftop for a relaxed lunch break with a view. The 7000 square meter space lets you work, network and socialize in a focused and flexible way, 24 hours a day. The stylish interior offers plenty of nooks to lounge in while you take a creative break and refuel with various snacks from the weekly happy hours. Who knew hard work was this easy?
