Light Like Music
Photography is not just snapping photographs for me.
Its more like making music with light.
Soft or powerful, warm or cold, light has its own beat.
Shadows resemble gaps between musical phrases.
They generate a musical impression together.
I don't only push the button. I keep waiting.
I observe how light caresses a face, how it travels across a room.
I snap the photograph when everything seems perfect, when there is harmony.
Ansel Adams once stated:
The image is like music; the camera provides the notes but the photo is the music.
That is also how I understand it.
A good picture is not just about how someone looks but also about the experience the moment felt.
Here is what I send you:
Not only images but also something concrete.
A something that seems like you. Like your family. Exactly like your life right now.
You don't have to act or position yourself.
You just need to be yourself.
Together we produce something honest and lovely.
Anything that will still ring true years from now.
