About this photograph :
Beach and jetty
This terrific view on Travemünde beach appeared during a photographic excursion to the Baltic and North Seas. The visual transition, from the beach into the Baltic Sea and beyond towards the sky, is gentle and smooth. Like a lonely sentinel the lifeguards' watch-tower looks out over this stretch of coast. Its windows are securely shut in defiance of the wild Nordic weather and will not be opened until the next summer of swimming begins.
About the artist :
Rüdiger J.
Vogel
Rüdiger J. Vogel was born in Stuttgart, Germany in 1975. He discovered his passion for photography early, during his youth. He successfully graduated from an apprenticeship in photography, at a professional advertising photo and post production studio in Stuttgart, following on naturally from this passion. Since 2001 he has worked as a freelance photographer within the domains of fashion, architecture, industrial and landscape.
His portfolio shows melancholic, often surreal landscapes in nature, as well as in the town. Rüdiger J. Vogel travels all over the world to capture these special photographic moments. Shanghai, Paris, Cape Town, San Francisco and New York are just a few destinations that his career has taken him to. Despite his many projects abroad, he never loses sight of his local environment. Straight, clear and free of pomp, his pictures inspire the beholder’s primary instinct for the desire for serenity. Another area of his work can be seen in his emotive photographs of characters for world-wide campaigns. Regardless of whether produced in a studio or under extreme conditions such as the hot desert sun of Arizona, Rüdiger J. Vogel's style of photography captures the very essence of the various cultures and emotions of the people that he observes.
