Sebastian Becker (@pottspott) is based in Essen, Germany's Ruhr Valley, an industrial region that spent decades transforming its coal and steel legacy into cultural infrastructure. His photography moves between architectural documentation and quieter moments of human presence scattered through travel. The work here spans multiple European locations. Becker approaches each setting with the same deliberate framing regardless of subject matter. The images resist any impulse toward nostalgia or romanticism, instead presenting Europe's accumulated textures and contradictions exactly as they appear.
