"The picture of someone in a context which illuminates our and/or their life, is my focus. The idea of a person who is at a point of change, or illumination, or expressing their inner passions, I find rewarding.”
Photos and the writings of Jens Lichtenberger (1950-2016)
“I have been a barrister during my working life and have taken photos over the years as a passion. Influenced by a number of visual artists, notably Edward Hopper, I have looked at the people and animals that are around me, and I respond to their environment. The picture of someone in a context which illuminates our and/or their life, is my focus. The idea of a person who is at a point of change, or illumination, or expressing their inner passions, I find rewarding.”
Jens Lichtenberger, 2011
