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; I have three children, Radjin, Yani and Saskia.
My background is still life photography, but I consider myself an urban photographer for my personal work; most pictures in PHOTOART are street shots from Sydney - I just roam the city, incessantly shooting with my Canon EOS 1Ds camera. Then I manipulate the pictures on my Apple MacBook Pro with Adobe PhotoShop. I abandoned film in early 1998 and have been a digital photographer ever since, both for my PHOTOART work and professionally.

Oh yes, I also dabble in writing, don't miss my blog or my Pacifist Manifesto - I invite you to comment on it, just send me an e-mail.
