Graduates and master students ‒ Joachim Brohm class, Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig

»Encountering reality through photography inevitably means working through the image, which begins with its construction: a photo emerges from an idea, staged, sought, or found. Once captured, it creates reality, reproducing, describing, registering, and abstracting it. But an image does not only manifest in the moment of exposure. Rather, it acquires meaning for the first time through form, format and materiality.«
