Isolation II - a photo on Flickriver

Isolation II

            Gunnuhver, Iceland, Nov. 2023

I edit my photos quite a lot, with the original often just serving as a foundation for the final result.

I’ve always avoided discussions about the "definition" of photography. To be honest, I don’t see the point in it. While there are certainly qualitative aspects to consider, I believe they are not tied to specific stylistic choices. I do appreciate a more documentary approach from time to time, which involves little to no editing. But in my own work, I aim to create an atmosphere (whatever that may mean) and don't care even a little to reflect what I actually saw on that day.

I see my photography as being closer to painting. Exploring my own creative potential and developing my own perspective are the things that guide me. Any attempt at "definition" only distracts.
