    1st Place in Architecture

After visiting a retrospective of the artist Lyonel Feininger in Frankfurt, I was inspired to translate what I had seen into photography. He particularly liked his Cubist paintings, which he referred to as Prismaism. I had my camera with me and so I set off through the city, which is characterized by high-rise buildings. The weather was favorable as it was completely overcast. Using different types of wiping techniques, each with individual settings and free hand, I photographed the scenery from different points of view in the city.

"If you really love nature, you will find beauty everywhere." - Vincent Van Gogh This quote from Vincent Van Gogh is very true for me, as I am a nature person and have been creatively dealing with nature as a landscape gardener for many years. When I was on vacation, I was always traveling, whether near or far, but I always had my camera with me. This was probably the basis for my photography, which became a passion. When I'm on the move, I always have an eye open for great subjects. With impressionist photography, I found a new field of activity alongside nature and architecture.
