Alexander Binder





Via i heart photograph, Alexander Binder's experiments combining home made kaleidoscopes and pinholes with a dslr to create the gorgeous impressions of light (website here). I'm down with his experience of photographing, in particular the spiritual sensation of bringing light, time and experience together: 'I started photography at the age of 14. Since that time I developed a deep interest in not only reproducing a scene but catching the aura of a certain situation. From my point of view traditional processes of capturing light (e.g. camera obscura) are the best solution to merge light, time and space - and thereby reproduce the atmosphere of a special moment.'
