title
Paris Atmos-Sphere
That chaotic amalgam of sufferings and joys, failures, and victories through so many years is perceived so much that one cannot help but be moved. Its effect is as resounding as invisible.
Paris is the essence distilled from its past and, as Anne Rice rightly says, "Paris is a universe whole and entire unto herself, hollowed and fashioned by history".
For this reason, every corner of Paris breathes together with another and participates with the same breath.
Paris is a great human poem that gives us great luck to travel in time unleashing our imagination.
These tiny planets represent a minuscule part of a whole, a kind of capsule that houses its atmosphere stopped in time where nothing and no one can ever be a loose verse.
Fascinated by the creative expression that is awaiting to be revealed.
I would like to share my concept about a location and suggest that each place has its own landmark.
My vision strives in provoking an awakening to see the world differently by changing our perception.
Christian first specialized in aerial photography where he started taking pictures from his “flying camera” of other boats in sailing races.
When he decided to make a living out of photography he specialized as well in 360 panoramic photography.
And by merging these two techniques he managed to create 360 aerial panoramic photos, which back at that time in 2012, were only developed by a few photographers.
After service as a freelance photographer in aerial photography, 360 immersive photography, and the creation of virtual tours, Christian moved to New Zealand in 2014, where during the following eight years he focused on specific locations in Polynesia, especially in New Zealand and the Fiji Islands for his surreal concept series; "What a Wonderful World".
Christian is currently established in the United Arab Emirates as a fine art photographer pursuing projects in which he can apply his creative techniques and discover new ways of expression.
Coming from a nautical background, he evolved in an environment surrounded by the sea. Constantly aware of the complete scene, as far as the eyes can see. This has marked an extraordinary influence on how this photographer represents his creations based on images where you can “see it all”.
Christian Kleiman is a photographer who through inspiration and self-teaching evolves continuously by exploring new ways of expression in search of the unseen perspective.

entry description
Paris possesses that "je ne sais quoi", that indefinable but omnipresent thing in all its streets, its walls, its cobblestones, its trees, its parks and in which throughout history so many battles have been fought in defense of freedom.That chaotic amalgam of sufferings and joys, failures, and victories through so many years is perceived so much that one cannot help but be moved. Its effect is as resounding as invisible.
