PHOTOREVIEW
BERND GROSSECK
My name is Bernd Grosseck, born in 1967. I have taken photographs since the age of
14. In recent years I found my vision for my photographic journey. Now I express
my idea with “minimal scenery” images. My main photographic interests lie in minimalist
landscape photography, urban still-lifes and street photography.
Our world, our life is highly complex and dynamic. So, I appreciate the photography,
the tranquillity of nature as an antithesis to the at times hectic daily life. Photography
makes me look at things in much closer details. This “intensive” viewing and the pleasure
of taking the results of my motif search home with me, along with spending quality
time outside are essential for me to, also to fulfil my passion for photography and for
my creative mind.
Viewing my images should be an act of looking through a frame with minimal elements,
excluding all the noise. I prefer a simple, clear picture language, radically reducing it to
a minimum.
Many of my photos were taken in my local area. I prefer “slow travelling “with my camera,
sometimes only just for a few hours near the place where I am living. „Slow-travelling
“allows me to get a stronger connection to the places I am visiting or to explore
natural locations in my environment. So often it doesn´t take much, not a far trip to
realise my vision of photography. I find interesting motives to show the „unknown inside
the well-known “, usually by walking in nature or driving slowly on narrow streets.
