Nature lover. Seeker of perspectives. Passion for light and shadow. Fell in love with photography at the age of 12. Completed the Master Photographer examination in 2012.

Black and white enthusiast.   <\/p>\n<h2>The Works<\/h2>\n<p>Christoph&#8217;s independent photographic work is created primarily in nature and while traveling, providing balance to his professional work.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" 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-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:988px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><h2>Philosophy<\/h2>\n<p>When you look through the images in the galleries, you may find that many of them show rather less inviting scenes and views that do not immediately trigger the classic \u201cI want to be there right now\u201d feeling in the viewer. Christoph\u2019s photography is driven by the desire to show the world from its mystical, often inhospitable side. Perfect blue-sky weather and postcard views usually hold little interest for him when he looks through the viewfinder. Brooding cloudscapes, snowstorms, rain and foggy weather draw him in and repeatedly form the basis of his images. The resulting pictures, when finally presented as framed artworks, add exactly the kind of contrast to a room that a feel-good interior needs.    <\/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:100%;--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 v27.3 - 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.
