Nicholas Ganz is a freelance photographer and author based in Essen, Germany. He has documented graffiti and street art throughout the world for more than 20 years and released two books on this subject.

In 2004 his first book “Graffiti World – Street Art from five continents”, a survey on this international movement, was first published by Thames & Hudson and also released in 12 translated co-editions. A new version of this book was released in May 2009, called “Graffiti World – Updated Edition”.

His second book “Graffiti Woman” was released in 2006, also first released by Thames & Hudson and published in 5 translated co-editions.

During the last years, he was working on the human rights situation in Burma and has travelled this country and neighbouring Thailand on several occasions.
As a result, together with co-author Elena Jotow the collaborated book “Burma – the alternative guide” was released in April 2009 by Thames & Hudson.

In November 2012 his book “Unterwegs in Burma – eine Reise zum Volk der Shan” (Travelling in Burma – a journey to the Shan people) was published.

Recently he has travelled to Nepal to document the country’s social situation and the situation of Exile-Tibetans in Nepal. Another new book project is in preparation.
