In these early years he devoted himself to photography, which won him several regional awards. These various photos and Polaroids can still be found in many of his collages. In 1973 Lothar decided to focus on painting. He found an inner peace however, in supplementing painting with writing poems and prose. In the following years his interest in the arts increased and he deepened his painting techniques visiting private art schools. In 1999, he moved to to live and paint in southern Spain.

In these countries, their work is still represented by well-known art galleries. Lothar Cames´ poems and prose will be published in 2014 in the form of a book.
