    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 Prismism. 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.

716 / 5.000 Nature is my passion and I want to share it with other people through my pictures. Whenever possible, I go out into nature with my camera. I have worked passionately as a landscape gardener for many years. This means working creatively with nature and paying attention to the little things, because these little things can make a big difference in an overall picture. I have always loved photography and it has become my passion. I like to do experimental photography to see what effect you can achieve with it. Photography is art and art knows no boundaries!
