Dresden
Sachsen / Germany / Europe
Inspired by the Brücke artists i went to places around Dresden to take photographs of beautiful woman. I utilised the invisible infrared light spectrum that captures the heat of an object and gave the skin chinalike appearance ...well Meißen is not far away!
(All photographs are shot with an SIGMA SD14 with a 780nm filter and removed Infrared blocker in front of the sensor)
The "Dresden forum for contemporary photography" staged an exhibition of nude photography at the Art Venue blaueFABRIK throughout the month of April. Works of 4 STRKNG photographers were accompanied by an satellite exhibition of PORTRAITS Hellerau Photograph Award. More Photographers were invited to an Open-Art-Space over the Easter weekend to create original artworks, that is inspired by the exhibition. I invited a pole dancer as my model for that occasion. During the weekend we created three series called Reality Check I-III, that were on display at the closing day of the exhibition:
I - interprets the pictures on the galery walls
II - uses traditional medium format photography on expired film as a contrast to high definition digital production
III - the pole dance live session makes use of the stage- and strobe lights of this original music venue.
I pursue photography already for some years. (Got a GCA A-Level in 1994) Sometimes more sometimes less. I work mostly analog with special vintage printing technologies and blog on them. If required I use digital equipement (SIGMA & Nikon DSLR) too. For indoor work i share a concept space in Dresden-Industriegelände. I am a member of Forum für Zeitgenössische Fotografie Dresden and curate one exhibition per year at Dresdens artspace blaueFABRIK. Enjoy the galleries on this page.
