Fine Art Prints - Artist's Statement
"Guided by light and line, and recognizing that a photograph is a reflection of a unique, fleeting reality, I strive to bring a quiet, contemplative energy to the frame. Additionally, by focusing on composition and tone — and limiting the use of processing techniques — a further objective is to establish and nurture an intimate affinity with the subject, one that communicates and celebrates the beauty, poignancy and oft-times ironic nature of our chaotic world. Through the art and perspective of photography I seek to bring both understanding and a fine balance to life – as I experience it."
SESSION PHOTOGRAPHY
Birgit is currently available for session and event photography in the area of Kimberley, British Columbia, located in the Kootenay Valley. She has lived in the mountains of Colorado, Northern New Mexico and in Vancouver, BC.
At any given gathering, Birgit's over arching pursuit is to document the mood. While capturing the subtleties that suggest the preciousness of the moment, precision and perfection come second to gesture, spirit and flow.
Your requests might include smaller, intimate weddings or events and maternity, professional, engagement and lifestyle sessions.
Please call 970 846 4580 or email birgitgp@gmail.com to discuss creating together!
