Romy Pfeifer
Central to Romy Pfeifer's practice of photographing is her devotion to nature and its dynamic, transformative force.
When she is strolling with her dog and her camera through the forests or along a seaside, she has the feeling of being just in the right place. She feels a strong connection to all the beauty that surrounds her: the trees, plants, animals, fields, the sea, and the sky. Making photographs in these landscapes is a kind of meditation for her, and she feels the healing power. Through her art she has found her place in the world.
With her way of photographing, she works on our living and connection to nature, on the rhythms of nature, and on the eternal transformations. Her images often force the viewer to look closer. Reality dissolves into abstraction, evoking both the vitality of nature and its ephemerality.
In an era of rapid technological change and environmental crisis, she hopes to be able to remind people with her photographs of the enduring beauty of nature and the importance of preserving and protecting it.
Romy Pfeifer, a German photographer, resides in a rural region south of Stuttgart. Her photographic journey is primarily self-taught, encompassing a diverse array of subjects, including nature, natural landscapes, animals, travel, and portraiture. However, what holds particular significance for her is the realm of experimental and abstract photography, where she employs various techniques and creative approaches.
Romy’s knowledge and photography expertise continually advance through her independent, self-directed learning. One of her ongoing projects is multi-exposure and ICM photography of nature and natural landscapes. This unique form of photography allows her to emphasize the vibrant colors, captivating light, atmospheric qualities, and the dynamic essence of nature.
It represents her distinct perspective on the beauty of the natural world, aiming to encapsulate and unveil the mystical, ever-changing, and fragile aspects of our environment. The line between reality and fantasy becomes blurred in these abstract images, enabling viewers to experience the wonder of nature and comprehend the perpetual state of motion and transformation that surrounds us. Throughout her work, she strives to elicit emotional responses from the audience while upholding the authenticity of her photographic creations.
