AN EXCLUSIVE OFFER

Something special...
(Fenway Park, Boston, MA, 2012)

   
   One of my projects for 2016 is an exclusive offer for the readers of my blog(s). At first I was planning to do a "Print of the Month" offering but then I decided to offer you an exclusive portfolio instead. A portfolio with twelve fine art photographs, exclusively done for this portfolio in a very limited edition of twelve portfolios (plus three artist's copies). Every month throughout the year I will choose on of my photographs to be included into the portfolio - and it will be not a photograph done for one of my other projects but one solely made for this portfolio. I don't yet know in which direction my work will drift but I can assure you that I will keep the highest standards (you can see some of my work at my website and on my photoblog). And at the end collecting fine art photographs has a lot to do with trusting too...

So this is my offer to you: 

Limited Portfolio Edition (in an edition of twelve plus three artist's copies) consisting of:

• Twelve Fine Art Giclée Prints exclusively done for this portfolio
• picture size (appr.) 21 x 27 cm, matted to 40 x 50 cm
• numbered, dated and signed in recto
• Certificate of Authenticity in verso
• in a clamshell portfolio box, numbered and signed

The portfolio will be finished in December 2016 and delivered end of 2016. The price for one portfolio is € 1,200,- (including shipping) with a downpayment when ordering of € 300,-.

If you want more informations about this project or want to purchase on of this exclusive artwork please contact me at info[at]innerlightgallery.org.

A Happy New Year to all of you. Hope to hear from you soon ;-)

Work in progress: PROJECT "FRONTLINE"

A few weeks ago I started with my new project called "Frontline". The background of this project is the WW2 Battle of Moscow, which took place  (according to official history) from Sept. 30, 1941 to April 2, 1942. Today it is seen as the largest battle between two armies of all time. The Battle of Moscow marked the first time Hitler's armies failed to triumph with their Blitzkrieg tactics and the German army never completly recovered from that defeat which is seen by many contemporary historians as the ultimate turning point of WW2.

Along the frontline of this battle there are today a lot of memorials and monuments remembering the heroic fight of the Red Army to stop the Fasiscts. With my project I want to document some of them. Seeing photography as a meaning of expression of one's feelings I am planing to "manipulate" my pictures in a way that they express the emotions I had while making the pictures. Here are first test to try out how to achieve this...
