Water Shapes

I have always been fascinated by the aerial view of our unique planet. During countless photo flights from the ice fields at the South Pole, to the savannas of Africa and the glaciers of the Arctic, I particularly noticed the patterns created by water on the earth‘s surface. After working more and more artistically, I started photographing these shapes at different locations. Working with drones was no option, I wanted to take photos from airplanes and helicopters with the highest possible resolution digital medium format cameras to capture every little detail. Over the years, a series of pictures have emerged that show the shapes created by water in an abstract and documentary way at the same time. Sandbars of the North Sea at low tide, a river delta between white dunes in Brazil, or glacier water that finds its way over volcanic ash in Iceland. Minerals, sediments and even aquatic plants create an almost inexhaustible play of colors. Works shown are a selection of currently available works.
