SVEN VOGEL
I am based in Cologne, Germany.
After working as a freelance Photographic Assistant for various high-profiled Fashion, People and Architecture Photographers, I soon worked for my own clients and started my own Art Studies.
Since 2008 I work as a professional Art, People and Architecture Photographer.
That was the time when I started my series (without knowing where it will take me) of abstract images - my series AQUARELLLANDSCAPE.
In my art project AQUARELLLANDSCAPE, I process my photographic gaze, which I developed during my countless stays in Africa, South America, Australia and other countries all around the world.
AQUARELLE LANDSCAPE tells of light and colours that shape our fast-paced world.
Since 2021 I work on my longtime Series Bushaeuser - Busstop - a Series about the situation of public transportation in Germany.
Then there are a couple of new Series like - Fenster - Windows - in which I take pictures of windows in suburbs and cities in Germany - it reflects on how we feel and think about intimacy.
PLEASE NOTE: If you prefer my artwork in another size, please just get in touch with The Artling.

What inspires you?
I draw my inspiration from my daily life - living, experiencing and discovering my surroundings inevitably leads to a broader perspective on things and situations.
Describe your creative process.
First of all there is a basic idea - let's take my current topic of windows - I walk around a lot in my hometown of Cologne and it struck me that there are many windows, although there are no curtains on the ground floor, so everyone who walks past the apartment can enter the apartment see. this resulted in my picture idea for a photo series - WINDOW - I deal with dealing with intimacy - how much does our environment shape us, how aware are we of ourselves, etc.
