Mountains Are Awesome! - Jan. 2012
One of the few photographer to start a career with a digital body before going to analog, Michael Schlegel was barely 20 when he first started getting noticed in 2008.. Captured with 40 years old Hasselblad, here are a few minimalist landscapes from his latest essay: "Massiv"
"Standing in front of these photographs, we perceive a sense of calm and silence, as well as solitude. There is no human presence, just the original beauty of nature which, almost hidden, Michael Schlegel offers for us to see. - Elisabetta Piatti's words to discribe some of Michael Schlegel previous work still apply here.
You can order any of the images above as limited editions FineArt-Prints. Prints are titled, dated, numbered and signed on the back. For orders and further information please contact Michael Schlegel.
