About me
As a landscape photographer, I create black-and-white fine art photographs that have to meet my artistic standards and my artistic vision first and foremost. My focus in landscape photography is on alpine motifs. The photographs should express my interaction with the motif felt at the decisive moment. I prefer, even look for, bad weather, fog and clouds and a moving sky, through which now and then sunbeams shine in a playful way and briefly illuminate individual spots in the landscape. I feel the image, the moment, through the interaction with the motif. At the decisive moment of the shutter release, the feelings are captured in the photograph with just these places and plays of light. In my photography, the subject is secondary or even irrelevant. Decisive are the emotions on and from the image, which I try to transport. The result of my work are dramatic, energetic, mystical and emotional images that radiate a certain power.
