Germany Presents Its Renowned Photographers

A first-rate photo reflects the physical world. This is the fundamental objective of fervent German photographers who aim to show people that photography is a reproduction of our real world. For the past years, German photography has been flourishing and great German photographers present their talent at the leading museums across the globe. Indeed, Germany is not only a country of outstanding cars and stouthearted Nazi but also, when it comes to photography, Germany will never be left behind.

A lot of the dominating photographers in Germany sprung from the celebrated Düsseldorf Art Academy: Axel Hütte, Andreas Gursky, Thomas Struth, Candida Höfer, and Thomas Ruff. Their awe-inspiring works exude the latest technical possibilities as well as the avant-garde zeitgeist, without losing the traditional documentary method. Andreas Gursky, for one, held his solo exhibit at the celebrated Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art last 2000 in the rustling city of New York. His photography, which contains spaces and places of avant-garde human beings, is amazingly manipulated digitally but retains its authentic looks.

Lastly, who does not know the celebrated German photographer, Wolfgang Tilmans, who experiments in the photographic images by combining or changing some customary photographic contexts? He had received a reputable exalted award, Turner Prize of London’s Tate Gallery, in 2000. As such, Germany will always remain at the zenith of our world's list of most esteemed countries in terms of economy, history, and art.
