The achievements of digital photography and video give us far-reaching and new possibilities. Exploring them creatively is a great challenge for me.
Why shouldn't I have a bit of craziness, fun and freedom with my photography?
I photograph and make videos the way I want and the way I like!
I want freedom, I live in freedom.
Here are some examples. More pictures and more detailed explanations can be found in the PhotoWorks and VideoWorks sections.
► Introduction to multidimensionality
All images and the compilation in the slide videos were created without AI (artificial intelligence).
My own was completely sufficient.
Between visible and invisible
A larger body of work was created under the title Multidimensionality.
The basic idea was to take a closer look at "dimensions". We are very familiar with length, width, height and time as half a dimension. Time only counts half, because it can only be passed in one direction.
But is there more? Other dimensions? Possibly. At least in thought.
Photography and more than two dimensions?
Representing them with photographic means is simply not possible, because photography is and remains two-dimensional. But it is worth a try.
The excess dimensions have to be supplied by thought.
Photography and time. A comparison...
A comparison between normal photography and photography over time.
Since I find the second case much more attractive, these are the photos that are mainly in the slide video (video created with individual images that are independent of each other).
Apart from small retouches, all the individual images come out of the camera as they are shown here. They are not multiple exposures either. There is no image editing in the video either.
In some pictures the lighting is slightly different than «normal»:
Long exposure with continuous light and multiple flashes. That's all.
And another selfie
I once took a selfie, at a time when people hardly talked about selfies. I didn't invent selfies either. That was Robert Cornelius in Philadelphia in 1839. He could never have imagined the hype we have today 180 years ago.
The internet search for the inventor of the selfie is not clear. There are too many "inventors" who should be or want to be one. But Robert Cornelius took a self-portrait with a camera in 1839.

My selfie is from 2013 and was taken in Arles.
Today, at the end of July 2024, I processed it. I could have taken a different photograph, because it's not about me as a person, but about the meaning behind the pictures.
In Between, Being in Between, these are the thoughts that prompted me to create this compilation as a video.
Where are we, what is next to us, what is between you and me? Where is the journey going, is it one? When will it be completed? Does it have an end or does it always start again?
Ask yourself, for example with a selfie!
