minimal scenery

Welcome to my website. My name is Bernd Grosseck and here I am presenting my photographic work.

My photographic focus:

1) Portraits of regions, towns and villages

As a photographer with a passion for landscape and travel photography, I have been accompanying people on their visual journeys for many years. I capture the typical characteristics of each region and present them through my individual view of the world.

2) Photographing projects

Every good story has a theme. With my pictures I want to tell the specific theme and experience in visual stories. It is my passion to accompany people in their work and to create 'behind the scenes' insights in various fields. 

3) Storytelling with my people photography

I specialise in portraying people in their private or professional environment, especially in my work for print magazines or in business or family portraits. At events I unobtrusively create valuable memories with my camera in a reportage style. 

"Minimal scenery" is the realization of my way of photographing. 

• Photography as a passion.
• Focus on the subject.
• Less is more.
• Simplicity as the path to the essential.
• Our world is complex enough.

I am a passionate photographer from Styria/Austria. I have taken photographs since the age of 14 and in recent years I found my vision for my personal photographic journey. Now I express my vision with "minimal scenery" images.  

Our world, our life ist highly complex and dynamic. So I appreciate the photography, the tranquility of nature as an antithesis to the at times hectic daily life. Photography makes me look at things in much closer details. This "intensive" viewing and the pleasure of taking the results of my motif search home with me, along with spending quality time outside are important for me, also to fulfil my passion for photography and for my creative mind. 

Viewing my images should be an act of looking through a frame with minimal elements, excluding all the noise. I prefer a simple, clear picture language, essentially reducing it to a minimum. 

Many of the pictures in my portfolio were taken in my local area. If a simple and clear picture language is used, I can show the unknown inside the well-known. Consequently it doesn´t take much, not a far trip to realize my own vision of photography.
