Alain Ulmer (fotovakschool Apeldoorn NL degree)
Born in Chazelles sur Lyon, France in 1949, living and working in the Netherlands since 1970. I worked as nature guide and photographer for Rotterdam city, in a nature education center until June 2010. My pictures have been used for brochures, posters and exhibitions (among others).
As an art photographer, my work focuses on personal subjects in nature, the human individual, society and urban landscapes, all the while keeping in touch with a more conceptual approach to photography.
I am a member of MAASKUNST (formerly AG-H), a groups of artists with which I participate in diverse exhibitions in art galleries and other places.
I am also part of the photography workgroup AFV Vlaardingen.
The
world as seen through a camera lens fractures into pieces of reality
which attract me.
It is when I am looking to capture the strangely
beautiful or fascinating that I am content.
Emotions at the moment
of one shot are intense, almost mystical.
The search for beauty is already a pleasure.
