Gerhard Grossberger

My work is narrative staged photography, to tell stories on unusual locations or landscapes, combined with people. The models became strange beings within these somehow artificial worlds. Lost princesses that define their own scope from the surrounding environment.

One stylistic element that can be found in a number of works is some kind of absurd situation, an arrangement or part of a composition that points out the sensless of a creative artwork - from an objective point of view. I like to set a counterpoint to the omnipresent desire for sense, benefit and responsibility.

My demands on the technical quality of all works is very high. No place for compromise! The prefered lighting uses plain lights with smooth shadows. Finally the image style, looks and spatial depth is created during digital post processing. My artworks are all made and optimized for prints, up to large formats.

When I compose a new work my demand is to have high technical level. Most works use simple and descreet lighting. Later in post-processing, the details are enhanced and spatial depth of an image is generated. All my artworks are made to meed high quality and large format printing requirements.
