Nature Photography

My photographies of nature take more of a documentary approach. The goal here is not the construction of a staged reality, but to let the picture take its form through the process of photography itself. The picture is the result of the different conditions that were present whilst taking the picture – the lightning conditions, the colours, background and the chosen motif itself. The pictures are then corrected and adjusted by applying the same techniques that were used in the days of analog photography. Since my pictures aim to be a copy of an existing reality – nature as it has existed in exactly that moment – and are not subject to any staging techniques, the room for interpretation remains limited. The pictures aim to capture nature in its very form and allude to our common perception of nature as such; its matter, light and sensations.
