Adrian Schaub

In my street photography people are interchangeable anonymous actors, hence you typically don't recognize their faces. Animals are part of the city life and their irregular activity contrasts with the regular form of streets and buildings. In general, I like regular shapes and structures of any kind, which is also reflected in my nature photography My paradigm is "Reduce to the Max" by adhering to * Simplicity: Topics, patterns and lines are clear and straightforward * Black and White: no distraction by colors * Square format: allows the most balanced image composition * Authenticity: there is nothing in my pictures that was not already on the analogue or digital negative.
