Best of the week 14
My name is Arthur and I am a 35 years old landscape photographer from Germany. If you take a quick look to my gallery really soon you will realize that being surrounded by nature is my thing!
"To me, nature is like a retreat, a peaceful heaven."
Even though I felt in love with the outdoors exploring Germany’s North Sea and I have always been fascinated by the coast, nowadays I rather lose myself in the mountains.
I find a lot of inspiration climbing huge peaks. Reaching the mountain’s summit can be kind of hard sometimes, but as you ascend you start to realize that the effort is going to be completely worth it.
"That view, when you are at the mountain’s top, is like a reward to me. It is over the clouds when I can feel totally free."
In addition, one of the things I enjoy the most when I am climbing are the changing lights. This is why I always try to travel really early in the morning. While everyone is sleeping, I am working my way to catch what in my opinion is the best moment of the day.
As the sun rises I can combine my two passions, nature and photography. Above the clouds, totally relaxed and stressless, I can fully enjoy the experience and marvelous view. Then, I slowly begin to focus on my camera and the story I want to tell through my photography.
"For me it is important that my pictures tell a story, regardless of who is looking at them."
A good picture has the ability to evoke feelings, such as freedom, joy or excitement. So, it is not enough for me to just photograph what I have around me. My pictures are intended to arouse, inspire and motive adventure seekers! Am I accomplishing my goal?
