About Birgit Seiler
For me, photography means seeing.
Seeing means observing – and observing means taking your time.
My photography revolves around nature, landscape and light, and the quiet moments in between. I am fascinated by special lighting conditions, subtle changes in the landscape, vastness, textures and the atmosphere of the moment. For me, it is not simply a matter of depicting what lies before me. I want to pause, observe and make my own perspective on the world visible. Often, it is precisely the quiet and unassuming moments that hold a special beauty for me. I seek out unusual angles, simplify where necessary, and at the same time allow the image space to breathe. My photographs are not merely meant to show, but to convey a mood and evoke something in the viewer – tranquillity, longing, a sense of vastness, or a feeling that lingers for a moment longer.
My images come into being where observation, patience and light converge.
