She says that Sir David Attenborough and her uncle Liam have a lot to answer for – notably her passion for the natural world which ignited early thanks to the amazing documentaries of the former and the wonderful coffee table books that accompanied those series, gifted to me by the latter.
Her photography obsession also started young, when she witnessed in a darkroom an image slowly materialise on a sheet of paper right before her eyes.
She says it was mesmerising. Life changing. It sucked her in and she’s been hooked ever since.

Volker Leibeg (via Zoom)
2023-04-03 20:00 - 21:30
Volker is a German photographer who after an exciting career as manager for space programmes, turned to an old passion of his youth, photography.

Minimalistic architecture or objects and sensual portraits are his favourite subjects. While his minimalistic photography is influenced by the aesthetics of the Bauhaus, with the search for colour and form contrasts, his portraits try to show the person and her emotions in a natural way. “Less is more” could also be the motto of his sensual portraits by giving imagination enough room.
