Carsten Burmeister

I have been a professional photographer in the Sydney graphic arts scene since 1979. After my education in Germany in the late 1960th, I spent two years in Amsterdam, Holland, and much of that time in the Rijksmuseum, studying the paintings of Dutch and Flemish masters. It is there I got the inspiration for my style of photography - light is used to maximum effect, composition is all-important and attention to detail reigns. With the arrival of digital photography and Photoshop, I was given the tools to finish my pictures to my liking and thus can fulfil my vision of evocative PHOTOART. My last stop in Europe was Copenhagen, Denmark - then I travelled to Asia and settled in Australia thirty years ago.
