Lake of Lucerne Print - Limited Edition of 5

ARTIST STATEMENT My work is about people, their activities (Personal Brand Photograph) and landscapes. When I take picture, I try to capture the essence of intimate beauty without concealing facts. At the same time, I value compositional subtleties such as light, shadow, moods and personal contact between the photographer and his model. As far as portraits and personal brand photographers, but also landscapes, are concerned, I am aware that it is always a snapshot and that the photograph will be already past as soon as I press the shutter release button. The picture is always a mirror of itself, no matter in which situation I am situated. As a photographer, I feel more like a tool or just a means to a end - perhaps as a result a successful shot. Beauty or sensitivity, the vulnerability of the person portrayed, there are so many terms that are often used, perhaps too banal indications. Preeminently, the meaning is about a personal conclusion of each individual and I invite the viewer to rely more on his own feelings, rather than follow his thoughts. The viewer should preferably look carefully at the pictures in the hope of experiencing a different and new way of seeing.
