Three questions with Leo Schindzielorz
All about his passion for photography
Ingo Laue is a photographer with a lot of experience
Meet visual artist Ingo Laue. Ingo is a photographer with over 30 years of experience. He doesn't do photography for a living anymore because he's already retired. However, that doesn't make him any less passionate about photography. He successfully runs his own shop on Art Heroes.
Ingo Laue's career
Ingo Laue has enjoyed a successful career as a professional photographer. Independence was always really important for his artistic work. He mainly focussed on industrial and reportage photography. One of his other passions is landscape photography.
Ingo Laue's road to art
Ingo got into photography using "large format cameras and pesky Polaroids". He remembers: "Back then, you needed to already know before you developed the photo how the image was going to turn out. These days, it's all become much easier." For Ingo Laue, having his own studio was what made his life as a photographer complete. "Still life photos were my speciality, which of course came in handy with clients, for example those in the jewellery industry." In recent years, the artist has mainly focussed on vintage car photography. And successfully too because his photos of vintage cars have been published across the world.
The retired photographer
Ingo Laue is happy that he's now retired and can pursue his passion for photography without any pressure. "You don't lose that photographer's eye," says the artist. "My daily life is now really relaxing. I only take photos when I feel like it. My photographer's eye guides me all day long and I'm thankful for that because I'm convinced I see my environment more intensely than somebody who doesn't take photographs."
