Andrea Lobel

I have always been drawn to images, visual stimuli made a deep impression. I like to look at images, artworks, the sky, people’s faces or the way light and shadow can gently slide into the room. At some point I felt that words couldn’t express to a full extent what I observed. Either I tried to explain too much or perhaps not enough. In my photography I try to communicate my observations, which can be vivid and impressive, sometimes bottled up for months; a facial expression or an evocative scenery, which seems hard to capture in words. By slightly altering, exaggerating, or choosing an unusual point of view, I try to create joined attention with the viewer. My photography is mainly in black and white. I feel it strengthens this focus and leaves the observation somehow timeless.
