Albert Renger -Patzsch
ALBERT RENGER- PATZCH WAS A GERMAN PHOTOGRAPHER OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH THE TOPIC OF ABSTRACT PHOTOGRAPHY. HE WAS BORN ON JUNE 22ND 1897 IN WURZBURG. ALBERT BEGAN PHOTOGRAPHING BY THE AGE OF TWELVE. THE ERA HIS PHOTOS WAS BASED AROUND WAS WORLD WAR ONE TO WHICH HE SERVED IN THE MILITARY FOR THEN WENT ON TO STUDYING CHEMISTRY AT DRESDEN TECHNICAL COLLAGE.
Alberts interest in photography led him to creating his best well known book called ‘The world is beautiful’
Albert does not stick to one area of photography. His work consists of elements of wildlife,images of traditional craftsman,landscapes and architecture.
All of his work really captures his love for nature and how he sees the world as a beautiful place, Albert uses photography to show to the public his love for the camera.
In 1928 his book ‘the world is beautiful’ he collected over 100 images with patterns of beauty and order but he does this by photographing through nature but only man- made patterns. Meaning that he did not alter anything to form something that was not there before.
Renger-Patzsch work interested me because of the level of detail that he had included. Another reason i like his work is how lined up everything is. I can tell that Renger patzsch takes time to reflect on the setting before trying to capture the moment.
