The Artist

Self-Portrait, ~1986

My photographic journey started at the time of the gymnasium in 1985. ^[0]
My work are 'mise-en-scène' of scenes and moods with classic photographic technics ^[1] without setting something artificial on stage respectively creating thorugh postprocessing. ^[2]

Characterized are my pictures likley most through the ideas and concepts ...

of the Decisive Moment ^[3]
of the Impressionism and Expressionism ^[4]
of the Composition ^[5]
of the Search after new Picture Impressives ^[6]

For this I prefer to use for my work:

Wide Angle Lenses
Strong Contrasts
Selected Color Designs from extrem colored till black and white. ^[7]
The bandwidth between steril perfection till 'intensional' imperfection. ^[8]

^[0] Interestingly I have started also with Super-8 movies in 1983. But I see movie and photography as different types of art using only partly the same technics. See: Vita.
^[1] See for details: Editing.
^[2] Whereby there is by nature some staging at planned portait sessions see.
^[3] See Wikipedia*: Henri Cartier-Bresson citated in his book the 17th century Cardinal de Retz in 1952:
See Google* Books: "Il n'y a rien dans ce monde qui n'ait un moment decisif"
("There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment").
^[4] See Wikipedia*: Impressionism and Expressionism.
^[5] See Wikipedia*: Composition.
^[6] Despite I have also my themes and prefered styles, I'm nevertheless bored from a simple repetion and start my search for something new.
^[7] This was finally only in the digital photo world really possible.
^[8] See also the Wabi-sabi aesthetic. That is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete". See Wikipedia*: Wabi-sabi.
