A warm welcome to my website, I’m glad you are here.

 

My name is Ute; actually I came from Germany but I live since 2015 in Canada, Edmonton.

Photography is my passion, that’s for sure.

 

But what is actually photography honestly for me and is the word passion actually the right for it?

Maybe not…. My slogan "You can feel it when you see it"   is not just an empty sentence for me.

Every photo I take is taken with my soul. One could also say in a funny way, I shoot it direct with my heart and not with the camera. A photo should be technically perfect, that's true, but where does the soul remain in a photo when it does not give a feeling because of a perfectly perfection?

 

I started photographing in my youth, because I quickly realized that it is apart from writing, a perfect form of expression. So, Photography is an art that is worthy to be respected and preserved. Everyone, does it in the way they feel it.

 

At that time, it was a hobby, next to my real job. Over the years, I had to adapt to my first full-format camera, and I was able to expand my equipment with good lenses also for low light condition. To remove the question in advance, I still belonged to the generation that could call an analog camera its own.

 

Then I came here to Canada and my heart overtook my mind. I dived into nature and all the landscapes. I was captured on the endless roads, got lost in the Rocky Mountains and in the endless expanse of golden fields and boundless skies.

 

Yes, it is true. "You can feel it when you see it"  Everything we see creates an emotion in us.

 

It is the natural thing that moves us, it is our lives, our families, everyday life, our hobbies, our friends, birthday celebrations, weddings, concerts and music, festivals and events;  real moments of cohesion and moments of happiness.

 

A photo is the combination of the feeling in the heart and the right moment.

I asked myself a while ago: What is photography for me?

 

Photography is art.

Photography is expression

Photography is trust

Photography is a feeling and a moment

Photography is a memory

Photography is the beginning of a new life stage

Photography is a time witness

Photography is auditing and mediation

 

But the most important point for me is:

Photography is our quiet companion on our way of life.

 

So let us capture the soul in your life in a natural way.

I hope you are like it here. Please feel free to ask, also for booking information.

You are always welcome!

 

Ute
