Felix Brauner works as a 3D artist in various fields. His focus is primarily on the combination of photorealistic design and storytelling. For him, visuality and communication are in constant interplay. He develops and realises CGI projects for companies, agencies and production studios, from single images and web-based assets to complex 3D animations. He also offers comprehensive advice on the possibilities of 3D visualisation to support companies in technical change processes. In his own projects, he analyses social and cultural phenomena as well as the mechanics and logic of photorealism. He publishes his work in exhibitions and other formats.
Felix has been a member of the Professional Association of Freelance Photographers and Image Creators (BFF) since 2018. In 2022 he was voted one of the "200 best digital artists worldwide" by Lüzer's Archive.
