The Artist
Artist/Künstler 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, but not only [7]:
  • Wide Angle Lenses
  • Strong Contrasts
  • Selected Color Designs from extrem colored till black and white. [8]
  • The bandwidth between steril perfection till 'intensional' imperfection. [9]

[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").
"The Decisive Moment" is something which can be used primary with with small and lightweight medium format cameras without tripod. With heavy medium and large format cameras is this not really applicable.
[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] See The New York Times* - "I knew that the techniques will change the vision - if you change the technique": Josef Koudelka: A Restless Eye .
[8] This was finally only in the digital photo world really possible.
[9] See also the Wabi-sabi aesthetic. That is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete". See Wikipedia*: Wabi-sabi .
