Interior shot with reflections, shadows and a little selfie, 2011

Photo by Johannes Beilharz.

I am a German painter and amateur photographer. My art and photos are in symbiosis and often confluent. Photography to me is an intense way of discovering, reflecting and experiencing my environment, be it where I live or where I happen to be on the road. I prefer authenticity to technical perfection and therefore avoid excessive editing. However, I do modify photos or create photomontages for specific artistic purposes. I mostly work with an Olympus DSLR and Android smartphones but also occasionally with analog Leica and Rollei cameras.

Thank you, Photographers of Colour, for publishing my submission! I'm honored.
