Glanzlichter 2023

Wednesday, 22 March 2023

I'm happy to announce that my image Painted Patience, showing a very well known location in a rather special light, was awarded at this year's Glanzlichter competition in the Magnificent Wilderness category. The image is a good example, that patience and persistence often pay off in nature photography.

Actually I was already on my way home, but I decided to stop for a little rest on this location, to enjoy the landscape. The sky was cloud covered and grey for hours already, but somehow I didn't dare to leave. So in the end I spent two hours there just unsuccessfully hoping for the sun to break through for a moment but this didn't happen until the sun finally set. Right as it ultimately went down for this particular day, the clouds opened for a brief moment and provided this surreal alpenglow.

Bildband Natürliche Nähe - Vorbestellungen

Friday, 13 January 2023

Seit mittlerweile elf Jahren arbeite ich an meinem Linzer Auenprojekt Natürliche Nähe und nun soll der dazugehörige Bildband im Eigenverlag endlich Realität werden. Die Produktion eines Buches steht bereits seit Beginn des Projektes als wesentlicher physischer Output und wichtiger Bestandteil fest. Erscheinen wird der Bildband im Eigenverlag nun 2023. Hier finden sich alle Infos und Details zum Buch.

Das Werk ist mittlerweile inhaltlich fertig und soll so bald als möglich in Produktion gehen. Da diese aber sehr kostspielig ist, versuche ich vorab durch verlässliche Vorbestellungen das Risiko zu minimieren und die Einnahmen aus den Buchverkäufen abschätzen zu können. Außerdem wird es eine Crowdfunding Kampagne dazu geben.

Gedruckt wird Cradle to Cradle zertifiziert und in bester Qualität auf feinstem Papier, gebunden in ein Hardcover im Format 297x204 mm.

Auf 264 Seiten findet sich dort neben 300 meiner besten Aufnahmen aus den Auen und allerhand Wissenswertem, ...

... zehn sehr persönliche Kurzgeschichten ...

... zu je einem speziellen fotografischen Momenten in den Auen, als Einleitungen für die zehn Kapitel, sowie ...

... persönliche Gedanken und Beschreibungen zu allen Fotografien.
Wer also Interesse an dem Bildband hat und mir vorab verlässlich zusagen kann, das Buch nach Erscheinen zu kaufen, hilft mir ganz wesentlich bei der Finanzierung. Zahlen braucht natürlich noch niemand etwas. Wer mich dann lieber mittles Crowdfunding unterstützen möchte, kann das natürlich (auch) sehr gerne tun. Und wer gerne detailliertere Infos zum Buch oder zum Projekt hätte, kann sich selbstverständlich jederzeit unter photo@rupertkogler.com melden. Danke!

Major update

Friday, 30 December 2022

I'm pretty delighted to announce, that I finally managed to update all my main galleries for the first time in two years now and I also updated the projects galleries where you will moreover find a new little project, I have been working on since some time, called Temporary Textures. Actually it was quite a challenge to select all the images I would like to display here on my website. At the beginning I had chosen more than 3,500 pictures, I actually wanted to show you all. Finally I reduced them to about 1,300 which even is quite a lot, I know. So as a starter I would like to recommend a look into my showcase of course. But if you would like to dig deeper or if you are looking for something specific, the galleries are there for your pleasure ;)

One of the images of Temporary Textures, which can also be found in the Atelier Nature gallery.

The beauty of a quite common and underrated species. A new addition to the Birds gallery.

Another bird capture, but also a contribution to my Habitats project.

Spring flowers can be found in the Plants gallery, of course.

Although I also like rather classic wide angle landscape shots, I often use my telephoto lens for more narrowed sceneries like this one, which is new to the Landscapes gallery.

The Atelier Nature gallery mainly contains captures of non-living subjects.
All in all it was quite some work in my two-child home office to get this major update done, so I deeply hope you will like it and you will check out all the work one day. And I also hope, you all had an amazing 2022 and an even more amzaing 2023 is waiting for you! Love.
