About
My photography
Black and white is less.
Black and white is geometry.
Black and white is emotion.
My photographic mind works in black and white. It's the way that I try to express my feelings about the world - I like the beauty, the vastness, the space to breathe, sometimes the insinuation of a looming uneasiness...
I am passionate about this. I keep working on my photos endlessly to achieve that final result satisfying my own self.
I invite you to just have a look, maybe a longer look, and maybe get a glimpse of the emotion it exudes.
Bio
Jens Winkler, an artist from Germany, discovered photography early. He began to work with his father’s camera and developed prints in a small photo lab before turning 18. This early engagement with analog techniques shaped his artistic approach.
In the 1990s, large-format photography became central to his work. Today, his focus is on black-and-white photography, where light, deep contrasts, and clear shapes define his visual language. His images, marked by space, minimalism, and balance, invite viewers to linger and reflect.
Much of his creative process unfolds in the digital darkroom, where he refines his photographs with techniques such as light painting, giving them a surreal quality. Inspired by masters like Ansel Adams and Michael Kenna, he has developed a distinctive style of his own.
His works have received numerous international awards and have been exhibited worldwide, including in Munich, Venice, London, New York, and Buenos Aires, placing him among the notable contemporary voices in black-and-white photography.
