"Flowers in Pop Art Style" is a series I began in May. I think the pop art style combines very well with the rich color palette of natural flowers. Furthermore, these rich colors have a significantly positive influence on human mood and well-being. The flower images shown here are my own photographic interpretation of pop art. I developed the camera's shooting mode myself and will continue to develop it further. All the flowers come from my garden, as do the decorative leaves in the middle layer.

I am 54 years old and live in Seligenstadt, Hesse. For many years, I worked as a landscape gardener, where I was able to work creatively with nature. Due to tragic events, I can no longer pursue my profession, which gave me time to devote more intensively to photography. Initially, it was primarily while traveling and in nature that I discovered abstract and contemporary photography. With a camera, you can create beautiful, individual works of art; you just have to get involved. This doesn't happen at the push of a button, however; it happens intuitively, based on the situation.
