title
Fishbowl
Photoshop double exposure.
Fish photo was taken by myself on GOZO on a dive trip.
Primarily I do landscape photography, mostly in nearby locations.
Photography is more than just taking a nice photo, the process itself, the hours in nature, becoming one with the object that captivates you, are also part of it for me. Sometimes, admittedly not always, you merge completely with the subject, you hardly notice anything else, time passes without you noticing it, you are in a "flow". Basically, photography is then nothing else but meditation, the detachment from the ego, the attentiveness to the moment. It is not the technique alone, the cropping or the image processing that creates the photo, but rather feelings and something unconscious are at work. Every moment is unique and every picture you take will be different from others. This one picture that you choose, that in the end becomes something haptic when you print it out and hold it in your hands, is a moment of time and the world that you captured. Each time, it fills me with gratitude that it was me who, for a brief moment, inspired by the power of creativity, was able to make this moment visible. Not only for me, but also for others. And I very much hope that one or the other feels touched in one way or another by looking at my pictures.
