Fine Art: Abstract (AMATEUR) - HONORABLE MENTION

The setting sun interacts with the structures in the ice formed by the melt waters to give this abstract.
Striving for perfection at every point of the creative process, no aspect of the representation of an image is left to chance. Fascinated by the colours and structures to be found in nature, photography is my opportunity to show the awe inspiring beauty of the natural world as I perceive it. Although I sometimes simply show this beauty as I find it, I always try and push the representation of an image to its artistic limits, perhaps even ending with an abstract work. Cropping tightly, contexts like shorelines and horizon are often removed allowing a creative focus on the details and sometimes vibrant colours that excite me. Just as a diamond needs light, so capturing the interplay of subject and light, is often key to achieving the effect I am looking for. This is never more present than when looking at water in its many forms and it is therefore of no surprise that this is one of my preferred motifs.
I am a Reference Photographer for SIGMA Deutschland and an honoured photographer for "Dein Sternkind". My work is regularly presented on the international stage.
2001-2017: 29 Single and Group Exhibitions including: Frankfurt Sportspress Ball; Strasbourg: St'Art, Foire d'Art Contemporain; Florence, Las Vegas, Madrid, Miama, New York, Rome, and Tokyo.
Numerous Publications and Prizes including: ATIM's Masters Award 2016; ATIM Top 20 Photographers 2017; Leonardo da Vinci Prize, The Universal Artist 2016; Little Treasures Award Of Excellence 2016.
