On walks trough the woods I discovered how beautiful leaves in puddles are, with the reflections in the water etc. I photographed them and thought about a deeper meaning - Life and Death - in general and based on leaves. I came to the conclusion that leaves show our lifespan in a small amount of time. Green = Birth, they grow up and are safe at home (on a tree). They’re falling (need to live on their own). And where they fall gives them the life they have to live. So they’re getting old and die. In this short amount of time it shows how beautiful they are. Then there is death - drowned, rotten, old leaves. And I’ve focused on the drowned leaves. I started photographing on locations, how I found them. But fall doesn’t last long. So later I took some leaves home and arranged a puddle to play with the light and composition.

About

Bjoern Bremer was born 1982 in the city of Bremen in Germany. As a photographer he catches moments and feelings and showcase reality. 1998 coming from just painting then Graffiti and Street Art to (2011) Photography to (2019) Digital Art, he always founds something artistic in his photos. He’s not good at painting but he loves the abstracts. So he started to photograph abstract (ICM), turned photos upside-down and started seeing things differently and eventually a whole new photo world opened up. In 2019 he started his Leaves Series. Photographing fallen, rotten and drowning leaves (on location and in the studio) with a deeper meaning of life and death transferred to the human being. In 2019 he also had his first exhibition in the City Library of Bremen. 2021 he was invited to Tricera’s online gallery. He’s now working on an Intentional Camera Movement project.
