Ruhr area 2014, Tiger & Turtle | The meeting
I don't just want to capture images with my photos, but also emotions and atmosphere. Black and white photography enhances this effect by focussing on shapes, contrasts and the depth of the image and the subject itself. The result is timeless photographs that are intended to convey a sense of calm when viewed.

entry description
This photo was taken in August 2014 in Duisburg, Germany at the „Tiger & Turtle – Magic Mountain“. It shows two people meeting on the landmark "Tiger & Turtle".about the photographer
My name is Patrick Betthaus ( née Opierzynski) and for me, photography, peace and relaxation are closely linked. The stillness that I experience when taking photographs allows me to fully immerse myself in the moment.I don't just want to capture images with my photos, but also emotions and atmosphere. Black and white photography enhances this effect by focussing on shapes, contrasts and the depth of the image and the subject itself. The result is timeless photographs that are intended to convey a sense of calm when viewed.
