I LOVE TAKING PHOTOS..
but i wanted to try something new..
so I started collecting.
COLLECTED CONTENT
I have collected pictures of residents in traditional costume, objects that symbolize their connection to Kiefersfelden and their favourite places in the village. To complement this with my own style, I took black and white portraits of the people of Kiefersfelden
OUTCOME
WEBSITE
The project became a website to provide an accessible and visually immersive experience. This format allows viewers to easily explore the unique stories and images that capture the essence of Kiefersfelden, offering a dynamic and engaging way to connect with the village's identity.
Desktop and mobile version.
Living abroad has made me realize how strong the identity and connection with the home village is. This inspired me to create the project “Kieferer - Portrait of a Village”, with the aim of finding out what makes us residents of Kiefersfelden “Kieferers” and what this identity means to us. Through photography and personal stories, I want to capture the unique community and diversity of our village and show what it means to be a part of it.
Working on this project was extremely exciting for me and at the same time an experiment. You never know in advance what answers you will get and what images will emerge. To delve even deeper into the subject, I added portraits of the people of Kiefer in traditional costume to the collection.
For the photography, I used my Sony Alpha 6000, together with a flash and a simple folding background, and converted my parents’ living room into a studio. It always fills me with joy to see how you can capture the complex and individual identity of people with simple means and hold on to it for a brief moment.
So let yourself be inspired and delve into the pictures and stories of the Kieferer.
