Breakfast Abstract
1. Going outside, 2. Taking photos, 3. Picking, 4. Taking photos, 5. Enjoying meal
This process can sometimes take quite a time in the morning. Anyway, I enjoy it! This land of milk and honey with e.g. currants, pears, blueberries, cucumbers and peppers is only available for a few weeks each year. (At least in my little land of milk and honey). Then it's back to waiting until next summer. However, I'm already looking forward to it ... and also to my breakfast today ... before it gets evening ;-)
After several years of living in the city back in a rural setting, I appreciate every minute when I may look out over a green backdrop and discover true artistic and culinary treasures of my home-grown kitchen garden. And I just can't help but capture these artful natural growth processes and cycles of nature with my camera.
Valuable experience that I was allowed to gain in the field of painting is reflected in my photographic art and vice versa. I see my camera less as a piece of technical equipment to achieve perfect shots according to the latest, ever more precisely developing technology. Rather, I see it as a medium to create art, indeed, essentially to ‚paint‘ with it by intentionally moving the camera. So for me it is ultimately nothing more than a kind of brush, immersed in the colors and shapes of the surrounding motif, following the impulse of empathy and artistic perception to create a perceived interpretation of reality. In other words, a special medium of painting, which also means no use of multiple exposure or any other layer techniques - each image: just one shot.
Essential approaches are abstract photography and capturing emotions. The targeted use of blur or intentional movement of the camera (ICM) enabling 'painting with camera' is a frequently applied technique.
Move - Minimalism - Mood
Nature - Architecture - People
Moments - Impressions - Emotions
Art and harmony are created without expectations.

about the photographer
Photography is passion and art, means acting experimentally, to be in the flow with all senses and to completely engage in capturing a moment, no matter how insignificant it may seem.Essential approaches are abstract photography and capturing emotions. The targeted use of blur or intentional movement of the camera (ICM) enabling 'painting with camera' is a frequently applied technique.
