Dynamics
I am fascinated by transforming material realities into abstract photographs in order to visualize hidden aspects of the reality. I explore how to represent thoughts, feelings or ideas. My photographic process allows me to merge visible and invisible parts of my reality into one atmospheric image. A visual language emerges that allows me to enter into an individual engagement with the world, as in poetry, and to tell of the hidden aspects of my reality in lyrical abstraction.
In this picture, I worked on maximizing the dynamic range by extremely overdriving exposure, contrast, and saturation.

about the photographer
I learned my photographic craft from the photographer Valentin Schwab. During a specialized internship with him in 1986/87, I gained profound insights into the technique and aesthetics of documentary photography. After a specialized internship in film and studio production at state television Bayerischer Rundfunk in 1988, I worked for several years as a camera assistant, both in analogue and electronic film recording. Over the years, I have increasingly abstracted my visual language. In my current work, I explore the representation of the subliminal, the ineffable and the ephemeral with abstract photographs.back to gallery
