TITLE: Semper Opera

The Semper Opera in Dresden, Germany

AUTHOR: Michael Jurek (Germany)

Based in Hanover, Germany, I devote much of my free time to exploring the far reaches of the world. For over 15 years, photography has been my enduring passion, a pursuit that continues to deepen with each passing year. My work spans a wide array of genres, mainly focused on travel, nature and architectural photography, with a particular affinity for creating abstract, creative and minimalism art across these disciplines. Inspired by the awe-inspiring beauty of the world, I aim to capture the essence of the locations I visit and the diverse individuals I encounter, using my Canon lenses to freeze moments in time and share my experiences with others.My photography has been featured in several esteemed publications, including 1x.com, DigitalPhoto, fotoMagazin, fotoforum and Stern.de. I have also had the honor of receiving awards and recognition in photography contests globally.

While my portfolio is diverse - ranging from nature, travel and architecture to abstract and minimalism photography - the thread that ties my work together is a spirit of adventure.

My art is characterized by a mastery of composition, lighting, perspective, and color. I strive for simplicity in my compositions, eliminating distractions to achieve a sense of fulfillment in each image I create.
