Wolfgang Bernard

I was born in a small town in northern Germany as the son of an artistic father. His influence and guidance brought me to photography at an early age as drawing and sketching was not so much my talent. I still remember his encouragement, his advice and practical help to see the world not only with my eyes but with my heart and brain. Now as I apply my knowledge and experience to my work I still remember his teachings on perspective and light graduation thus I never stop learning. The world around me has become more beautiful, richer in detail and full of exiting discoveries, which have become treasured memories. The pictures I see tell to me to be their voice, their messenger. I now live in the south of France, the Provence, and I discovered what many impressionist found challenging; to capture the amazing light, the colours, the shades to create the picture I love.
