Infrared fine art photography by André Wagner: The trunk stands at the right edge while its broad golden crown reaches left across almost the entire image — The Weight of Light.

ANDRÉ WAGNER · FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY

Between the visible world and inner experience.

The Weight of Light
1 / 4

My photographs emerge from a search for what can only be sensed within the visible. In landscapes, in fire and in spiritual places, I encounter questions of time, impermanence and connection. Infrared photography and long exposures open other ways of experiencing reality: familiar colours dissolve, movement leaves traces, and a moment holds the passage of time.

Photography as contemplation.

For me, spirituality is not an illustration of a doctrine, but a way of seeing. I linger, observe and leave room for what cannot immediately be explained. My images invite you to look more slowly – and to encounter your own perception within the landscape before you.

ARTISTIC APPROACH

About my practice

For more than two decades, I have made work while travelling, in landscapes and in places of transition. Some series have accompanied me for many years.
