Mainly macro photography. Sometimes I combine photography with minimalist poetry such as haiku. I also design book covers. See sample slideshows below…
I took my first photograph in a Berlin backyard when I was around 5; I still remember the intense shade of the purple flower against all that grey. What fascinates me about photography, as well as short-poetry forms such as haiku, is the moment. When combining the two, I look for synergy, balance, and a subtle interplay. My approach tends to be minimalist. Negative space is important, as is conveying mood and depth of feeling.
The artist’s statement above along with a selection of my photo-based haiga appears in cho 16:2 (see introduction below).
