About JORG BECKER
"Classic Fine Art Photography without Manipulation | Photographs painted with the camera, the light and the colors of nature"
Welcom,
I have been photographing classical, abstract and conceptual photography for 50 years, but due to the wickedness of this world I now only photograph the beauties of this earth!
The Artmajeur gallery about Jorg Becker:
The photo artist Jorg Becker practices art photography on various topics. He paints with the camera, light and the colors of nature.
He values the independent development of his work without automation and software manipulation, just as in the days of analogue film and traditional darkroom technology.
His photos are taken with fast lenses in RAW format without in-camera processing and developed with a RAW converter. The effects are almost all created during the shoot.
Jorg Becker has developed a unique style in his photographic work, focussing on women, the nude, the silhouette and abstraction. His photographs are sensual and poetic, capturing the beauty and essence of his female subjects.
He plays with light and shadow to create striking effects and emphasise the shapes and contours of his models. His work is both delicate and bold, creating a mysterious and mesmerising atmosphere.
But abstract nature photography is also part of Jorg Becker's repertoire. His nature shots with very fast camera movements using the zoom result in abstract art photos with wonderful colours, without the images having to be manipulated afterwards.
Originally from Saarland, Germany, he lives on the tip of the Medoc Peninsula on the French Atlantic coast.

Education
Photographic development process
Inspired by many art books of my father I caught at the age of 12 years in to paint and to draft. Architecture and art fascinated me and I quickly realized that these media would affect my life. At the age of 16 years I discovered the images from Doisneau, Brassai, Ronis, Hamilton, Sieff and other famous photographers. I bought a single lens reflex camera, a photo lab and learnt to develop photos, tried out the different films and experimented. Exposure, focal length, point of view, moment, distance, film delicacy, lighting conditions, a variety of factors that make up a picture. In the beginning of the 2000s disappeared many of the good films of the market. A very big incision in the photography. And at the beginning of the digital photography it seemed that the artistic photography would become possible for everybody. Really the difference became even clearer by the digital photograph between click photos and art photograph. Since 2004 I take a photo digitally without automatic and without camera image processing with light-strong objectives exclusively in the RAW-format. I develop the pictures like in analogous times, but now digitally. Almost all effects already originate with the admission of the picture without digital manipulation.
