| Information | Landscape photography has always been my favorite subject (viewing landscape paintings also, especially paintings by the German landscape painter Caspar David Friedrich created in the late 18th and early 19th century), however I do like a lot of other genres in photography, such as street photography, very much as well.
True to this day (for myself):
"I'm learning to see. I don't know what it's about, but everything is
entering me at a deeper level and doesn't stop where it used to.
There's a place within me that I wasn't aware of. What's going on
there I don't know."
(Rainer Maria Rilke)
"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed."
(Albert Einstein)
According to the Professor of Photography Harald Mante, once I learnt: any image can be evaluated at two different levels: firstly, regarding content and message (rational recognition and emotional reaction) and, secondly, quality of composition / design (including arrangement and color management). A content of an image is chiefly evaluated by the viewer whether it delivers a certain information content and according to his / her interest in this information. In order to generate / get good image contents experience and / or chances (also sheer coincidences) and / or good concepts comprising creative / original ideas are required. It is remarkable that image contents can even be recognized if there is a poor technique and composition to be found merely. Therefore, a good technique and compo is primarily required to facilitate and support the recognition process. | |
