Strapnstyles / Our story

A camera.
A personal
perspective.

Strapnstyles grew out of my everyday life in photography and film. From wanting a strap that fits my camera. And the way I move through the world.

Good gear should feel right.
And leave the moment to you.

01 / The beginning

Behind the strap
is a photographer.

I’m Lorenz. Photography and film have been part of my life since my youth. At 16, I founded my own media production business. Making images became both a passion and my work.

Street photography brought another perspective: having a camera with me in everyday life. It also made me look more closely at my gear. I wanted a camera strap that worked well and felt as good as it looked.

Starting on my own

At 16, I founded my media production business. Photography and film became the starting point of my work.

02

Out with a camera

Street photography sharpened my sense of what gear needs to do in everyday use.

03

A personal answer

When I couldn’t find the right strap, Strapnstyles began. The search turned into developing my own ideas and products.

02 / The Potsdam workshop

From an idea
to your hands.

In Potsdam, an idea becomes something you use every day. We design, sew, check and pack our camera straps by hand. This is where design meets craft.

Rope, leather, length and connectors shape how a strap feels and how you carry your camera. We consider these details together, as part of your everyday photography.

03 / What matters

Good design
gets used.

A camera strap stays close: on your shoulder, in your hand, every time you reach for your camera. To us, appearance and function belong together.

01

Materials with character

Rope and leather give our straps distinct textures and character. You choose what feels right for you.

02

A fit that suits you

We don’t all carry a camera the same way. Colour, length and attachment make the choice personal. Our size guide helps you compare.

03

Function in the details

Whether you prefer a classic split ring or Quick Release, the connection needs to suit your camera and the way you work. We can help you find the right option.

A personal connection

From my camera
to yours.

Strapnstyles brings together two sides of my work: making images and creating something by hand. The brand started with my own search. Today, it is about helping you find the right strap for your camera.

If you are choosing between two lengths or are unsure about the attachment, write to us. Tell us which camera you use and how you carry it. That is where useful advice begins.
