The Loneliness by Kirsten Bruening
This photograph was taken during the lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It shows a lonely city during the late afternoon. Under normal circumstances the streets would be filled with life, people would be on the streets doing their shopping. Today it is only quiet, quiet and lonely and only a few people get lost in the city.
Experimenting Low Key by Kirsten Bruening
For me, looking through the viewfinder is looking into a magical world. In a world without color, in a world dominated by light, shadow and gray tones. Into the magical world of black and white photography. Black and white photography focuses on the essentials. It highlights the beauty of the subject. It stimulates the viewer's imagination. A black and white photograph sometimes expresses more than 1000 words can describe.
The Magic of Black and White by Kirsten Bruening
“Black and white is abstract,” the great photographer Joel Sternfeld once said. “Looking at a black and white photograph, you are already looking at a strange world.” Black and white photographs let the viewer see the world from a different angle and see the beauty of the subject from a completely new light. Black and white photographs have their very own magic and, when viewed over a longer period of time, bring out new small details again and again.
