Alexander Kunz

Alexander was born in Germany in 1971 and now lives in San Diego, California. His photography is driven mainly by his love for landscapes and nature.

Admirers of his work have repeatedly compared his approach to photography with the “contemplation of nature” by classic German painter Caspar David Friedrich, where not an accurate depiction and reproduction of reality is the goal, but an idealized version of it that one might see with his or her inner eye only.

The processing of his images on the computer is an essential and genuine part of his work. Editing the images never compromises the original take on his subjects, but enhances it, allowing his audience to experience more closely what he saw and felt. Though digitally developed and enhanced, his images always retain their purity and authenticity.

It was not until the advent of affordable digital photography however when he finally made photography the primary outlet for his creativity in late 2006, starting with a borrowed digital SLR camera. Alexander was always fond of working with computers, and digital photography and the artistic freedom that comes along with it was a natural choice for him.

He always was a creative person – playing one of the leads in school theater in 4th grade, winning the painting contest of his school as a 5th grader, singing Gregorian chants in the choir, composing music on the computer – it was only logical that he would sooner or later discover photography as well. His first contact with photography was at the age of 10 already, with his parent’s Polaroid instant film camera – getting himself into trouble when he used up one of the expensive cartridges with 10 polaroids within just one hour…
