Landau-Ulrike-Guémené
I have been passionate about photography since I was 20, at times I developed my pictures in my own small photo laboratory in Berlin. But my studies and the subsequent responsible professional activity took up so much of me that there was only little time left for photography. That changed in the last two years and since then I have been "fully involved" in photography, now with a digital camera, and in image processing. I am particularly influenced by the very committed works of William Turner and I discovered Anne Brigman, a pioneer of the Pictoralist movement at the beginning of the 20th century. In Anne Brigman I found what I had previously tried to express in my pictures: the feeling that my motifs gave me. The technical quality of the photo is also important to me, but I'm really not a "pixel bug". In addition, I often overlay my pictures in order to combine various realities and times into one picture, which then creates completely new "realities". So mostly my work is impressionalistic, sometimes blured with a mystical dark and dramatic touch.
