About Sandy Lunitz

The reason I photograph is to experience the beauty of nature, the wild seacapes. I explore the elements of landscapes, water, rocks, trees and clouds.
My approach is idealistic und puristic.

A fine art print is primarily the product of a person, not of a camera.
To expand my creativity I work with film that I develop in my own darkroom, black & white and color. Developing is part of the whole process of my photography, which starts with the idea of an image in my head and ends with the creation of the final print.

Each step requires concentration and its goal is to create a satisfying piece of art. As we live in a digital age my aim is to get the most out of both worlds, film and digital. Film because it was the material of the first icons of photography. To hold the physical result of a specific moment that I have captured is very exciting and leads me to a more intense relationship to the image and the landscape.
It also allows me to produce images of higher quality because the medium is more time consuming.

This results in the privilege to get the most out of both mediums.
