Artist Statement
„If no one captures it, there‘s nothing to remember“
Unknown
As a photographer my work is always dedicated to documenting and visualizing. My goal is to invoke emotions and to convey different emotional stages, no matter if it is about executing a pre-visualized idea, just going out to take images spontaniously or focusing on a specific project. For me it is always about communicating my own view of the world to other people.
„I photograph like a documentarian, but i print like a painter“
Todd Hido
My inspirations come from a variety of places and art forms, like photography, cinema and classical art.
The way of thinking and the imagery of the romantic era heavily influenced me throughout my carrer as a photographer and artist. In general, my work can be divided in two directions. Photographing people and situations in and around my life and portraying the world in its various states around me.
The world portraied through my eyes, filtered and curated by my own thoughts and feelings.
