Artist statement and personal vision in art photography and photographic art.
Fine art photography in black & white with a vision. Award winning photo artist Thomas Finkler is mostly inspired by the nature and countryside near his hometown. Short distances to the favorite hot spots make it possible to watch the interplay of light and shades through the seasons.
Twenty years of professional experience as a graphic designer had a big influence on his photographic view. His style can be characterized as a search for mood and minimalism, with a keen eye for light, forms and details. By making use of techniques like intentional camera movement or shallow depth of field, Thomas Finkler adds a abstract, poetic and sometimes also melancholic note to his works. The artist considers digital post-processing techniques, known as fine art composite photography, just as important as the shooting in itself. With this unique combination – professional photo artist with decade-long experience as graphic designer – Thomas Finkler creates and "designs" his own personal vision in fine art photography. Since 2018 he is also inspired by multiple exposure photography techniques, combining abstract surfaces and patterns with photographic art of nature and landscape.
The awarded black and white fine art photography series "dramatic skies" and "blurry trees" are very much dedicated to his first life as a graphic designer – always trying to find the balance between order and chaos.
