On his website, Menner explains that while the snipers appear invisible due to their expertise, they are always there, aiming at the camera—and by extension, the viewer. To create these striking images, Menner collaborated with military snipers from Germany, Lithuania, and Latvia. His work offers a rare glimpse into the world of elite marksmanship and the extreme levels of precision required to remain unseen in open environments.
While the series is undoubtedly a testament to both the snipers’ skill and Menner’s artistic vision, it also raises thought-provoking questions. The idea of standing in front of a trained sniper, even for artistic purposes, can feel unsettling. Nevertheless, the project continues to fascinate audiences, blending photography, military strategy, and psychological intrigue into a single frame.
