My photography thrives on the endeavor to show the world from its mystical, often inhospitable side. Fair weather and postcard motifs with brilliant blue skies generally hold no significance for me when I look through the viewfinder. Cloud-covered moods, snow flurries, rain, and fog attract me and consistently form the basis for my images. This results in motifs which, in their final form as a framed artwork, provide the necessary contrast to the feel-good ambiance of a room.    <\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Imagine a picture hanging in your living room that feels like a large window looking out into the world. Would you really want to stay indoors for long if the sun were shining brightly outside? Most people, I believe, feel even more at home when, outside their front door, the wind is raging, snow is falling, rain is pouring down, or the landscape disappears into dense fog.&#8221;  <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling fusion-sticky-container\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-sticky-background-color:var(--awb-custom_color_16) !important;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" data-transition-offset=\"0\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-sticky-small-visibility=\"1\" data-sticky-medium-visibility=\"1\" data-sticky-large-visibility=\"1\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-center fusion-flex-align-content-center fusion-flex-justify-content-center fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:calc( 950px + 70px );margin-left: calc(-70px \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-70px \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_2_5 2_5 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:40%;--awb-margin-top-large:60px;--awb-spacing-right-large:35px;--awb-margin-bottom-large:60px;--awb-spacing-left-large:35px;--awb-width-medium:60%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:35px;--awb-spacing-left-medium:35px;--awb-width-small:75%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:35px;--awb-spacing-left-small:35px;\" data-scroll-devices=\"small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-center fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-1 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two fusion-text-has-stroke\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:50px;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;--awb-margin-top-small:50px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:0px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;--awb-margin-top-medium:50px;--awb-margin-bottom-medium:0px;--awb-font-size:30px;\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-center fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"font-family:var(--awb-typography1-font-family);font-weight:var(--awb-typography1-font-weight);font-style:var(--awb-typography1-font-style);margin:0;letter-spacing:var(--awb-typography1-letter-spacing);text-transform:var(--awb-typography1-text-transform);font-size:1em;--fontSize:30;line-height:1;\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;All the light<br \/>in the<br \/>\nworld is<br \/>\nmeaningless<br \/>\nwithout<br \/>\nshadow.&#8221;<\/p><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-paragraph\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:20px;--awb-margin-top-small:20px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:20px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;--awb-margin-top-medium:20px;--awb-font-size:var(--awb-typography3-font-size);\"><p class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-right title-heading-tag fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"font-family:var(--awb-typography3-font-family);font-weight:var(--awb-typography3-font-weight);font-style:var(--awb-typography3-font-style);margin:0;letter-spacing:var(--awb-typography3-letter-spacing);text-transform:var(--awb-typography3-text-transform);font-size:1em;--fontSize:14;line-height:var(--awb-typography3-line-height);\">\u2013 Christoph V\u00f6gele \u2013<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rs_blank_template":"","rs_page_bg_color":"","slide_template_v7":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-13578","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Christoph V\u00f6gele Fine Art Photography | The Photographer<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Black and white, light and shadow, rugged landscapes instead of postcard idylls.
