Portraits

i love to communicate with (pleasant) people
and i love communicating with (and via) the camera
not just "the result" is important for me, but the whole
"genesis" including talk, drinking coffee, have fun apart from any camera. :-)

An spectacular collection of first class portraiture. The tonal range in B&W suits the images extremely well. ~VV~

jackg, thank you for your comment. You hit the point.

jackg		12-Apr-2015 01:19
Have been a huge fan of your work for a long time. I have finally taken the time to try and work out why. With the portraits, the subjects are obviously intelligent and confident young women with loads of personality, which you capture so well. I think that this is aided greatly by not allowing the bodies to be distracting. Don't worry, I like ladies bodies as much as the next guy, so when a photo allows the choice between knowing the lady or seeing the body the later usually prevails. This is a sad aspect of human behaviour as there is so much more to women than just the body. It must have been uplifting for these women to have worked with you and be shown that they didn't/don't need to exploit their bodies in order to be noticed. Keep up the great work.

wow. all of your portraits have such a nice easy going and relaxed feel to them. is it the models or is it you? i'd say its your ability as a photographer to bring out a comfortable atmosphere to work in and allows them to be so relaxed, allowing your shutter clicking skills to jump in and shine!!! Very good portaits....i'm really impressed by your work!!!

Revisting your gallery again. Of course your compostion and toning are really first rate, but what really strikes me is just how skilled you are at capturing the beautiful of all of these ladies in such relaxed and natural posings. Truelly some impressive images here. Well done.

John		16-Oct-2008 22:44
You have the abillity too transform "the nextdoor girl" into something special. A very own style not in the last place by the chosen tones, sepa-ish but not sepia all the way. Very good Klaus, my compliments. I visit your galleries on a regular basis. That's the best compliment one can get I suppose. A huge Vote.
