God`s wonderful creation
One has to come very early in the
morning, while everything is still peaceful, quiet and where the
sky is covered with uncountable pieces of glitter. The sky
appears slowly, pulled up from an invisible hand like a theatre
curtain. When the sun’s first rays come through onto the
horizon, the morning dew transforms them into shimmering colours
of jewels. Nature is awake again for another day as it has
always been long before the first human was ever born. Perhaps
the new day begins with loud cries after a quiet night.It’s
the best time to find oneself and to experience the solidarity
with nature,
to feel one with the cosmos and perhaps also the best time to
portrait the nature.
I´m living in Austria/ Europe it is a country full of
picturesque Landscapes. I started my career as a shop-assistant
in a Hardware-Store. After 3 years I changed to the creative job
of a window-dresser. But I discovered more and more my love for
photography and so I have been working hard to become a
professional photographer. Until now I´ve been working for
different magazines and organisations. Nevertheless my real love
is to portrait the nature.
Since my youth I have been fascinated by the beauty and
creativity of our planet and I love to portrait our nature.
Therefore I move around to catch this “preciousness” with
my camera. For this purpose my favorite camera is a 4x5"
and panorama camera make LINHOF
and Leica Serie M for smaller
format, which is known for robustness and reliability. It can be
used purely manually, whereby simplicity and compactivity for
this type of camera play a significant role for me. The detail
loyalty of the lenses and the format of the films as well as the
results recompense me again and again for the spent strain. Selecting the motives, it is important for me to represent them
in a true-to-life manner.
I use only natural light and no colour filters. I reject
fashionable trends, because the beauty of nature doesn’t
require a correction. I operate with different materials from
the labels Fuji and Kodak. An important aspect for harmonious
nature photography is the fact that I respect nature and don’t
try to understand it, because who understands already a “Grand
Canyon”? What appears important is to detect the beauty and to
move it into the right light.
If I stay then patiently, sometimes for hours or longer with my
camera waiting for the suitable light, then it isn’t finally
an ordinary nature photo that I shoot in the correct moment, but
a picture which brings about my feelings, my admiration and my
respect for nature closer to other people.
