Sometimes it's worth simply having the courage to take a leap. For the first time, I submitted works from my current series Vision of Vine - Winds of Change<\/em> to an international photo competition \u2013 and was honored with two awards:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udd47 1st place in the Abstract Photography category<\/strong> for Dual Paths - Tradition and Innovation<\/em>

\ud83c\udfc5 Honorary Mention in the Open Theme<\/strong> for Focus in Flux - A Vine Amidst the Storm<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The awards were presented by the\u00a0Best Photography Awards 2024-25<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0judged by a highly qualified panel of international experts that celebrates the diversity of photographic art. I was especially pleased to find an abstract photography category \u2013 something that many competitions still lack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art that connects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This recognition means a great deal to me. Abstract photography has the power to touch viewers in a personal way \u2013 no need for words, yet guided by a clear artistic vision. That these images were not only seen but understood<\/em> shows me that my work speaks to people across cultures. Each gaze brings a new interpretation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The subject itself is close to my heart: Vision of Vine<\/em> reflects the transformation within viticulture \u2013 artistically captured using ICM (Intentional Camera Movement), a technique that makes movement visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The awarded images explore essential themes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Tradition and Innovation<\/em>, as seen Dual Paths<\/em> in Dual Paths<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • or the search for orientation in times of change, expressed in Focus in Flux<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Wine and art: a personal path<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    This project is more than photography to me \u2013 it\u2019s a visual expression of a subject that accompanies me on many levels. As a seminar leader, wine travel guide, and founding member of PIWI Germany, I\u2019ve long been engaged with sustainable viticulture and new grape varieties that help respond to climate challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Vision of Vine<\/em>\u00a0is therefore also a photographic commentary: a dialogue between nature, change and perception. The combination of wine and art is not a contradiction for me, but a natural extension of my artistic expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Looking ahead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Towards the end of the year, I will be presenting further works from this series at the PIWI Summit in Berlin - a fitting setting to further visualise the connection between artistic perspective and viticultural change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
