Volker Birke

Artist Representation
Hannover

I'm a semi-professional, predominantly self-taught photographer specializing in fine-art photography. I've been fascinated with nature, especially sea and landscapes, all my life, and how it relates to personal feelings, atmosphere and moods. Got my first camera around the age of ten more than 40 years ago. Therefore, artistic landscape photography has always been a favorite subject, also viewing landscape paintings (e.g., created by Caspar David Friedrich, William Turner). For the last ten years I have primarily used digital SLR cameras, though still employing and developing (b&w 35 mm) film occasionally.
